> One particular Christmas 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 him that her Mom was
> > coming to visit.
> > This stressed Santa even more. Then, when he went to harness  the
> reindeer, he found 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 back into the house for a cup of coffee and
> > a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the
> > elves had hidden 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 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.

> Merry Christmas,
