[BITList] A X'Mas Tale!

[John Feltham]

I've always wondered ? Do you believe in fairy tales...??


When four of Santa's elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not  
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 Mum was coming to visit. This  
upset Santa even more.

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were  
about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven  
knows where. More stress!

Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the sacks split, and the  
toys fell to the ground in the snow.

So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and  
a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the  
elves had finished off the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In  
his desperation, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke  
into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to  
get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritable Santa trudged to the  
door which he opened to find a little angel with a great big Christmas  
tree.

The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't it 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.

If you don't hear the knock of opportunity - build a door.
