I've heard versions of this story before, just not this particular one. =)
--Previous Message--
: When four of Santa's elves got sick, the
: trainee elves did not produce toys as fast
: as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel
: the Pre-Christmas pressure.
:
: Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was
: coming to visit, which stressed Santa even
: more.
:
: When he went to harness the reindeer, he
: found that three of them were about to give
: birth and two others had jumped the fence
: and were out, Heaven knows where.
:
: Then when he began to load the sleigh, one
: of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag
: fell to the ground and all the toys were
: scattered.
:
: Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a
: cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When
: he went to the cupboard, he discovered the
: elves had drank all the cider and hidden the
: liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally
: dropped the cider jug, and it broke into
: hundreds of little glass pieces all over the
: kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and
: found the mice had eaten all the straw off
: the end of the broom.
:
: Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated
: Santa marched to the door, yanked it open,
: and there stood a little angel with a great
: big Christmas tree.
:
: The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry
: Christmas, Santa. Isn't this 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.
