A TRUE CHRISTMAS FABLE
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.
