Getting in the Spirit

To help us all "get in the spirit" of the Holidays, here are a couple of things that have crossed my path. And, one of my favorite Christmas songs.

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. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her mother was 

coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more. When he went to 

harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give 

birth and two others jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. 

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.

Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot 

of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk 

all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he 

accidentally dropped the cider jug and it broke into hundreds of little 

glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and 

found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom. Just 

then the door bell rang and an irritated Santa marched to the door, 

yanked it open and there stood a little angel with a great big 

Christmas tree.

The angel said very cheerfully, “Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn’t this 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 angel on top of the Christmas tree.

So, it's not so traditional. But I bet it made you laugh! And, as the season can be stressful, we all need a laugh.

Love these two dogs! I am currently trying to figure out how to teach Sadie this... 

And, lastly, one of my favorite Christmas songs from one of my favorite Christmas movies. 

 

May your Holidays be joyful and oh so merry. Merry Christmas!
