Question: Why is there a tradition of having an angel on the top of our Christmas Tree?
Answer: Once upon a time; long, long, ago; way up North in the land of ice and snow; in a cozy little cottage; lived Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
One morning Mr. Claus, Santa to his friends, and all children, awoke to discover that every button was missing from the flap of his only pair of clean long-johns. He took a deep breath, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Oh well" and went on about his business.
When he arrived in the kitchen he discovered that Mrs. Claus had burned not only the toast but also the coffee. He took a deep breath, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Oh well" and went on about his business.
As he stepped outside, the first thing he noticed was that one of the runners on his sleigh was bent and the other was rusty. He took a deep breath, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Oh well' and went on about his business.
He saw that the elves were trying to harness the reindeer but the beasts were all fighting with each other while simultaneously suffering from gastric distress after having over indulged on mistletoe the previous night. The smelly harness was all tangled with several pieces broken apart. He took a deep breath, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Oh well" and went on about his business.
The Shop-steward for the Elves Union #1 stopped him from going on about his business to demand additional milk and cookies during the scheduled work breaks and threatened a work stoppage of toys if his demands were not met. Santa took a deep breath, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Oh well" and tried to go on about his business.
Suddenly, he was confronted by a little angel carrying a Christmas tree. She scowled and demanded, "Hey, Fat-Boy, what do you want me to do with this tree?'
Considering our tradition, we must assume that Santa answered!
