A Christmas Tradition is Born

[Burt Munro]

Not long ago and not far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip...but there were problems every where... four of the 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 looking for a good time.....more stress.

And then, when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards on the sleigh cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered all the toys...so, frustrated Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey...but he found that the elves had hit the liquor cupboard and there was nothing there to drink...and 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 all the straw bristles.

Just then the doorbell rang and Santa started to cuss as he went to the door ..he opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. And the angel said in a most innocent, angelic voice: 'Santa, where would you like me to stick this Christmas tree??'

And without a moments hesitation, Santa told the angel where he could stick his tree and that, my friend, is how a Christmas tradition that carries on to today was born.....  ;D


Merry Christmas
