The Angel on top of the Christmas Tree

A hilarious Christmas forward from my SIL.  Enjoy!


One particular Christmas season a long time ago,
Santa was getting ready for his annual trip...
but there were problems everywhere.

Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves
did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones
so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit.
This stressed Santa even more. When he
went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them
were about to give birth and two had jumped the
fence and were out, heaven knows where.

More stress. Then when he began to load the sleigh
one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to
the ground and scattered the toys.

So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup
of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the
cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hid the
liquor and there was nothing to drink. In his
frustration, he accidentally dropped the coffee pot
and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over
the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and
found that mice had eaten the straw it was made
from.

Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed on his
way to the door. He opened the door and there was a
little angel with a great big Christmas tree.

The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas Santa. Isn't it just a lovely day?
I have a beautiful tree for you. Isn't it just a lovely tree?
Where would you like me to stick it?"

And thus began the tradition of sticking the
little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
