The Christmas Tree


Recommended Posts

It was late September one year, and Santa was getting to take his annual vacation before the big holiday rush. However, there had been a lot of problems lately. Due to some bad eggnog, a bunch of the elves had succumbed to nasty food poisoning. On top of that, many of the trainees were fed up with the low wages, and had gone on strike. Production was falling further and further behind schedule. As if that wasn't enough, Mrs. Claus informed him that her mother would be coming to visit next week. Later, when he went out to harness the reindeer, he discovered that half of them had sauntered off to the bar because they didn't feel appreciated. Still trying to keep a good mood, he decided to start with loading his sleigh instead. But, during the process, a board broke, causing all of the presents to fall out and slide across the snow in all directions. Giving up, he trudged back home in the abnormally thick snow, hoping to unwind a bit with a tall glass of bourbon. However, upon arrival, he discovered that the elves had hit the liquor cabinet. There was nothing left for him, not even any girly drinks. That's when he snapped. He took his glass and hurled it at the wall, causing it to shatter all over the place. Then, the doorbell rang. He stomped over to the door. There, at the doorstep, was a tiny angel, standing next to a giant Christmas tree. She asked, ever so sweetly, "Santa, where should I put this tree?"

And that, my friends, is the story of how the little angel came to be at the top of the Christmas tree.

I expected more wit after having read FMH's "OMG, that's got to be one of the funniest jokes I've ever read. Very smart too!"

Still funny, though.

Albeit not very peaceful. :(

;) Sorry to disappoint you.

No problem :D

It was funny nonetheless, although the style of the text implied to be a non-violent, peaceful joke.

Ugh, totally got into that mood and then boom, festive feeling went bust! :p

Real good joke. And what is truly good about it is really people can take it and run with it. All you have to do for the lead up is just stress the fact that Santa was having a really bad run of things, and as long as the punchline stays intact, the joke is successful. (Y)
