A Christmas Story for people having a bad day:
>>
>> 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 drank 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 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.
