One particular Christmas season a long time ago,Santa was getting ready for his annual trip;but there were problems everywhere.
Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elvesdid 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. So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey.
When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hid the liquor and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of littlepieces 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, very cheerfully, “Merry Christmas Santa. Isn’t it just a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Isn’t it just a lovely tree? Where would you like me to stick it?”
Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
Hence OUR tradition of having a small artificial tree that we decorated the first time we bought it. We cover it every year with a plastic bag, and take it out for the holidays. Enough is enough. . .

What is the tree decorated for? There was no Christmas back in BC years.

My Dad always put the ornament on the top of the tree first, then stood it upright and we did the rest.

“A star? Brilliant! How’d you ever come up with that idea?”
“Well, I was just standing here, when suddenly, something just hit me…”

Actually, rumor has it that the Germanic peoples decorated forest trees with candles and other objects many centuries before J.C. came along.

It’ll be interesting to see which balls explode first, the Alley Oop or the Acme corporation’s.
