One Christmas, long, long ago, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip.
There was one problem after another that year; a few of the best elves came down with the flu, and the trainee elves didn't make toys as fast as the usual guys so Santa was really feeling the pressure of being behind schedule.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that one of them was about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out somewhere. He ran around in a panic until he found them. Then he went inside and Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mother was coming to visit! This stressed poor Santa even more.
Then, when he began to load up the sleigh, one of the runners cracked and the sack fell to the ground and scattered toys everywhere. Fuming, Santa found a couple of carpenter elves to fix the sleigh and went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey.
When he went to the cupboard, he found that the elves had been hitting the liquor and there was nothing left to drink. An empty bottle fell out of the cabinet and shattered all over the floor. Scowling, he went to get the broom and found that mice had chewed up the straw and it was hardly usable.
Just then the doorbell rang and Santa muttered and cursed to himself all the way to the door. He opened the door, and saw a little angel there, dragging a great big Christmas tree. The angel said, "I'm running late, where do you want me to put this tree, fat man?"
And that is how the little angel came to be on top of the Christmas tree!
