[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3302334, member: 44288"] Ever wonder how the tradition of putting an angel on top of your Christmas tree got it's start? It's not as magical as you may think. The following joke was e-mailed to me by a co-worker who got it from somebody, who got it from somebody else, so on and so forth. Consider it my Christmas gift to you. [I][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=6][COLOR=#b30000][B]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.[/B] [B][/B] [B]Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.[/B] [B][/B] [B]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.[/B] [B][/B] [B]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.[/B] [B][/B] [B]Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.
