A Christmas Tradition
Version I
It was supposed to be a happy time, but it wasn't. Santa was really cross. It was Christmas Eve and NOTHING was going right. Mrs. Claus had burned all the Christmas cookies. The Elves were complaining about not getting paid
for the overtime they had put in while making toys and the reindeer had been drinking all
afternoon and were dead drunk. To make matters worse, they had taken the sleigh out for a
spin earlier in the day and crashed it into a tree, breaking off one of the runners.
Santa was beside himself with anger. "I
can't believe it! I've got to deliver millions of presents all over the world in just a
few hours from now and all my reindeer are drunk, my Elves are on strike, and I don't even
have a Christmas tree! I sent that stupid little angel out HOURS ago to find a tree and he
isn't even back yet! What am I going to do??"
Just then the little angel opened the front door and stepped in from the
snowy night, dragging a Christmas tree. He
says "Yo, Santa, where do ya want me to stick the Christmas tree this year???"
And thus, the tradition of Angels perched on top of the Christmas trees came
to pass.......
A Christmas Tradition
Version II
Why we put little angels on top of our Christmas trees.....
Not long ago and far away, 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 all over the place.
Frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of
whiskey. When he opened the cupboard, he found the elves had hit the liquor and there was
nothing strong to drink. He decided to have a cup of coffee, but 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 little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said: "Where would you like to put this tree
Santa?"
And that my friend, is how the little angel came to be on top of the
Christmas tree.
