This blog may be going off-message... My justification is that we are going to tell the family about the news on Christmas Day.
The Christmas Angel
One particular Christmas a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for the annual trip... but there were problems everywhere. Four of the elves were sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys fast enough to meet demands. Santa was beginning to feel stressed. Mrs Claus told him that here mother was coming for the holidays, and this stressed poor Santa even more.
When he went to harness his reindeer, he found that 2 of them were about to give birth and 3 others were nowhere to be found. More stress. Then, while he was loading the sleigh, a floorboard cracked under his weight and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.
Frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whisky, only to find that the sick elves' hot toddies had emptied the drinks cabinet. In his frustration, he dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of tiny pieces. He went to the broom closet and found that the mice had eaten the straw from the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door. It was an angel with a tall beautiful evergreen. The angel said cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa! Isn't it a wonderful day? I've brought you a lovely Christmas tree to celebrate with. Where would you like me to put it?"
Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
