Not long ago and far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip...

but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got
sick, and the trained 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.
Totally frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee
and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he found the
elves had hit the liquor and there was nothing to drink. In his
frustration, he 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 door bell 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: "Where would you like
to put this tree fat man?"

And that my friend, is how the little angel came to be on top of
the Christmas tree.
