A Christmas Story
or
Why we often put an angel
at the top of the Christmas tree.
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the elves in training did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones and Santa began to feel the pre-Christmas pressure. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out "Heaven knows where"! Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Needing a break, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the rum. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and Santa very irritated at that moment, marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you, where would you like me to put it?'
… And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
HO! HO! HO! HO! HO! HO! HO! HO!
People really think up these stories!
They have a fun imagination!
They make us laugh and
give us such a different view of Christmas
and its time-old traditions.
Delightful !!!
