To all you forumites, my best wishes for a Merry Christmas, Good Yule, Happy Kwanzaa, and good times for whatever you follow at this season. May you have the best food and drink to make you merry. The days have started getting longer, thank goodness. To all those with SAD, keep good spirits, it only gets better from here. May you all know peace in your life.

Just in case you haven't heard this one..



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 had 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 doorbell 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 thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Not very many people know this.

Heh, heh, heh. I always wondered about that... Thanks for sharing, I got a good laugh out of it. :-)

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i bawb ar SAGG; ac mae llawer ohonynt.

Happy New Year, all. May the coming year bring you joy in abundance, wealth, and health. May you succeed in all your endeavors (unless your ambition is to bomb the daylights out of someone) and may your weather be good and your crops fertile.
