how it all began...

Doc

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.

Then 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?"

Thus began the tradition of the little
angel on top of the Christmas tree.
