Just to bring a bit of festive laughter i thought i'd post a joke,.....
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. Then 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
