Christmas Eve Is Only Eleven Months Away So Here Is An Early Start To the Season

Once upon a time, long ago and way up north, Santa was getting ready
for his annual trip...but there were problems everywhere. Four
of his elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce the
toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa was beginning to
feel the pressure of being behind schedule.
Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom 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 had jumped the fence and were
out, heaven knows where. More Stress.
Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the floor 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 found
the elves had drank the whiskey and there was only half a spoonful of coffee left in the jar.
In his frustration, he 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 cute little angel with
a great big Christmas tree. The angel said: "Where would you
like me to put this tree Santa?"
And that, my friend, is how the little angel came to be on top of
the Christmas tree....
