26. Angel on the Christmas tree.

In mid-November, several of Santa's elves came down with food poisoning from some bad fruitcake putting toy production way behind schedule.

A couple of days before Christmas, Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mother was coming on New Year's Eve to stay for a few weeks.

On Christmas Eve, Santa went to harness the reindeer and found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were missing. 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.

Hoping to calm himself, Santa went in the house for a cup of hard cider. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider. In his frustration, he dropped the cider jug and it broke into pieces all over the kitchen floor.

Just then the doorbell rang. An irritated Santa went to the door and yanked it open. 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 thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
