> A Christmas Story for people having a bad day....

> Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit. This
> stressed Santa even more.

> When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were

>
> Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, and
> the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.
>
> So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and
> a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard he discovered that the
> elves had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In his
> frustration he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke
> into
> hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get
> the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the broom.
>
> Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door.
> He opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big
> Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas,
