    Christmas many years ago, Santa Claus was getting ready for his annual Christmas trip around the world, but he ran into a few problems.

    Six of his elves were sick and the trainee elves didn’t produce the toys as fast as the others. Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

    To make matters worse, Mrs Claus told Santa her mother was coming to visit, which stressed him out even more.

    When he went to harness the reindeer, he noticed three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and ran away. This made him even more stressed.

    As if his day couldn’t get any worse, he began to load his sleigh when one of the boards cracked, causing his sack of presents to fall and scatter the toys everywhere.


    Fed up, Santa decided he would return home for a cup of coffee and a shot of whisky.

    He went to the cupboard and discovered the elves had drank all the whisky, meaning there was none left for him. He also accidentally dropped his favourite coffee mug, causing a thousand tiny pieces to shatter on his kitchen floor.

    Santa attempted to find a broom to clean up his mess, but the mice had eaten the straw it was made from. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

    When he opened the door, Santa was greeted by a Christmas angel.




    “Merry Christmas,” she said. “Isn’t today just the best? I have a lovely Christmas tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?”

    And that is where the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree began.
