A Little Christmas Humor

This is not mine, but I thought I should share it:

     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
drunk 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 an 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.


Not a lot of people know this.
