Not a lot of people know this

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 drunk 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.
He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the
straw off the end of the broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and 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.

Not a lot of people know this.
