Those are wonderful. I don't know if I can believe they are all actual answers. Maybe some of them.

This, unfortunately, is only a tiny bit funny. But it the only joke that's arrived in my inbox recently. It's seasonally appropriate-- that's something.

Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

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

So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hid the liquor and there was nothing to drink.

In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the coffee 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 it was made from.
> > > >
Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed on his way 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. Santa, Isn't it just a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Isn't it just a lovely tree. Where would you like me to put it?"

>Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
