Up in the North Pole, Santa was having a tough time...
* The reindeer had distemper and wanted sick leave.
* The dwarves wanted to put in for a living wage and equal pay with the elves
* Mrs. Clause was upset because climate change had melted a lot of her carefully crafted ice sculptures
The last straw was when the Christmas Fairy turned up at the door. She had been tasked with getting a Christmas tree, but had delayed and the specimen she had was very scraggly. It also cost a lot more!
She explained: "Because I was late there was very little choice and a lot of competition for what was left, so I had to pay double, and it got damaged on the way back - but here it is.
Where do you want me to stick it?"
That is why the Christmas Fairy ended up on the top of the Christmas tree...
Merry Christmas to one and all!
