Merry Christmas
The Story of the Christmas Tree Angel
One particular Christmas season 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 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 coffee and a shot of
whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hid 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 on 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.
