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 that 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 into 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 rum. 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 that 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 beautiful tree for you.
Where would you like me to put it?
