A North Pole story of Christmas traditions

It was not shaping up to be a Merry Christmas at the North Pole. Mr. Claus was buttoning his suspenders when an angel popped in out of nowhere, yelling "HEY SANTA!". That caused his fingers to lose grip, and the whole thing snapped him in the eye.

When he got out to the elves, they were all grumbling because of the stickers they had to put on. A Chinese expedition had come in and claimed sovereignty of his little magic island on the pole, and he'd allowed it to keep them from blabbing where it was. So everything was good, except all the "Made in China" stickers the elves now had to put on all the toys. Just as he was leaving, the angel came back, yelling "HEY SANTA!", which caught the attention of the union rep, and he was in meetings for another hour.

The reindeer had dysentery, which meant feeding them medicine in stables filled with dung. He's somehow managed to get most of the way through this, when the angel popped up, yelling "HEY SANTA!". The reindeer panicked, pulled the sled around, knocking him over into the worst of it.

After cleaning everything off, he had to shower and change again. This meant tiptoeing past the dreaded scale. Mrs. Claus was terribly concerned about his weight, and the quality of her cooking depended on what it said. He'd been avoiding this for weeks, because he was just over the edge, when the angel popped in. "HEY SANTA!" That caught her attention.

He was munching on a carrot by the time the sleigh was all hitched. At least in this, nothing could be ruin, as he hoisted himself up the icy step. "HEY SANTA!" yelled the angel though, surprising him, and letting slip his magic bag of toys. It would take at least an hour to clean up.

"WHAT?" he yelled back at the angel.

"I just came from heaven. They're sending you a Christmas tree. It it eternal, and remain forever and ever wherever it's been placed. So where do you want me to stick it?"

...and that's how we got the tradition of an angel at the top of the Christmas tree.




Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
