We've all heard it, but it's become a holiday tradition :^)

 One particular Christmas 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 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 him that her Mom was coming to visit.
This stressed  Santa even more.

 Then when he went to harness the reindeer, he found 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  back into the house
for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey.
 When he went to the cupboard, he discovered 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 little pieces 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 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.
