[AngelBear]

Not long ago and far away, as Santa prepared for his annual trip...chaos erupted. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves didn't produce the toys as fast as the regular ones. Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit. "Great!" thought Santa. When he went outside to harness the reindeer he found three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence. More Stress! To top it off, when he tried to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground, scattering the toys.

Totally frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee. In his frustration, he dropped the coffee pot, breaking it into hundreds of little pieces. And then, when he went to get the broom he found mice had eaten the straw bristles.

Just then the doorbell rang. Santa stomped to the door and opened it to find a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. "Hi, fat man," said the angel, "Where would you like to put this tree?"

And that my friend is how the little angel came to be on top of the Christmas tree.
