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!
