A Christmas Story For People Having A Bad Day........

[Buckwheat]

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.
