Time to trot out this old chestnut...

XMAS  EVE  AT  THE  NORTH  POLE

Santa?s alarm clock didn?t go off as planned. He wakes up 3 hours late.

He rushes around to get his reindeer yoked up, but because of his panic, they got spooked and disappeared into the forest. It took him another 30minutes to round them up.

Santa throws the toy bag onto the sleigh and with a mighty Ho Ho Ho, starts to move. He hears a sickening CRACK, and looks down to see a broken sled runner. He unloads the sleigh and jacks it up and removes the broken runner. He then has to go out into the forest and cut down a tree and shape a new runner. After fitting it, he is now 5 hours late and not very happy?

He throws the toy sack into the rear of the sleigh and with a mighty Ho Ho, takes off. The toy bag falls out the back, spilling all the toys?.

He has just finished picking up all the toys and putting the sack back into the sleigh, when an angel appears, saying

? Hey Santa, where should I put this Christmas tree??

? You can shove it up your ??..? said Santa.

And to this day, this explains why the Angel sits atop the Christmas tree.
