How the Angel Got on Top the Tree
Do you know the story of how the angel came to be on top of the Christmas tree?
Santa Claus was very cross. It was Christmas Eve, and nothing had gone right. Mrs. Claus had burnt all the biscuits, the elves were complaining about not getting paid for overtime they had to do while making the toys, the reindeer had been drinking all afternoon and were dead drunk, and to make matters worse, they had taken the sleigh out for a bit of a spin earlier and crashed it into a tree.
Santa was furious: "I can't believe it! I've got to deliver millions of presents around the world in just a few hours, the reindeer are drunk, the elves are on strike, and I don't even have a Christmas Tree. I sent that stupid angel out ages ago to get a tree, and he's not back yet. What am I going to do?!"
At that moment the angel opened the door, stepped in from the snowy night, and dragged in the Christmas Tree; "Yo, Fat Man! Where do you want me to stick the tree this year?!" And that's how the tradition of an angel a-top the Christmas Tree came to pass!
