A CHRISTMAS STORY
My Grandfather told me this story when I was a very young and into everything..
I'll always remember..
Quote:
A CHRISTMAS STORY FOR PEOPLE HAVING A BAD DAY
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 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 in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.
When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor.
In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.
Just then the doorbell rang, an 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 a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

JJ,
Do you think, a bit of rum may have saved the poor angel from her decades long place on the tree?

Richard,,
Sandy told me about the guy hanging over the back fence with the cell-cam..
Asked if I know who it was,, now we know...
We had a long talk-walk on the beach,, I helped her work it out,, and now she is OK with the exposure(s),,, used less than a pint..
