Christmas Story for people having a bad day....
>>
>>When four of Santa's elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not
> produce
>>the toys as fast as the regular ones, 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 apple cider and
> a
>>shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves
> had
>>hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration,
> he
>>accidentally dropped the cider 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 end of the broom.
>>
>>Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged 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 a
>>lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to
>>stick it?"
>>
>>And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas
>>tree.
