It was Christmas
eve, and Santa was
really busy making his list and checking it twice, when
there came a
knock at the door. His wife comes in. “Honey, where do
you want me to
put your boots and gloves?” Well, Santa is very busy and
so he’s
slightly annoyed by this trivial question, so he snaps at her,
“Put
them by the front door, and stop bothering me. I’m trying to get

some work done.”

He starts back to work, but a few minutes later
an elf barges in.
“Santa, we got all the toys wrapped, what should
we do with them?” Santa
snaps, “Stick ’em in the sleigh! Can’t
you see I’m trying to get
ready? I don’t want any more
interruptions!”

But sure enough, as soon as he starts back to work, there
is another
interruption. An angel, standing at the door, says,
“Santa, I have your
Christmas tree. Where would you like me to put it?”

And this is where we get the tradition of placing an ange
l on top of
the Christmas tree.
