seasonal joke
People often wonder about christmas traditions, for example
why do people put angels on the very top of their christmas
trees? Well, here is the true story of how it all started:
One christmas, Santa was getting ready to load up his sleigh
and fly all over the world, so he picked up his big sack of
toys, and WHOSH, a seam ripped and all the toys fell out.
So Mrs. Santa came out and sewed up the seam [I know, it's
sexist, but this is a true story], and Santa put all the toys
back into the sack. So he picked up the huge sack full of
toys again and went outside in the snow where his sleigh was
waiting and put the bag into the sleigh, and CRUNCH, a runner
broke. So Santa took the bag of toys back into his house,
pushed the sleigh into his garage and fixed the runner, pushed
it back to the house, and got the toys and put them into the
sleigh. Then he rounded up all the little reindeer and put
their harnesses on, got into the sleigh, and said (in a deep
Santa-like voice) GIDDYUP, but he had forgotten to hitch the
reindeer to the sleigh so they all flew away into the distance.
Just then, a little angel flew by with a christmas tree and
said "Santa, what do you want me to do with this tree?"
