Speaker 1: One particular Christmas season a long time ago. Santa was
Speaker 1: getting ready for this annual trip, but there were problems everywhere.
Speaker 1: Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves
Speaker 1: didn't produce the toys as fast as the regular one,
Speaker 1: So Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being
Speaker 1: behind schedule. A net wouldn't do. Then missus Claws told
Speaker 1: Santa that her mother was coming to visit. This stressed
Speaker 1: Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer,
Speaker 1: he found that three of them were about to give
Speaker 1: birth and two had jumped the fence and were out
Speaker 1: to who knows where. More stress. He didn't need that.
Speaker 1: Then he began to load the sleigh, one of the
Speaker 1: boards cracked, The toy bag fell to the ground, scattered
Speaker 1: the toys everywhere. So frustrated, Sanna went into the house
Speaker 1: to get a up coffee and the shot of whiskey.
Speaker 1: When he went to the cupboard, he found that the
Speaker 1: elves had hit the liquor and there was nothing to
Speaker 1: drink but water. He wasn't into that mort stress. In
Speaker 1: his frustration, he accidentally dropped the coffee pot. It broke
Speaker 1: hundreds of pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went
Speaker 1: to get the broom, he found that the mice had
Speaker 1: eaten the straw. Rather, he didn't have that to do either.
Speaker 1: Then the doorbell rang. Santa Claus was cursing a little
Speaker 1: bit all the way to the door, and he opened
Speaker 1: the door and there was a little angel and a
Speaker 1: great big Christmas tree, and the angel said, Merry Christmas, sinner,
Speaker 1: isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree
Speaker 1: for you. Isn't it a lovely tree?
Speaker 2: Where would you like me to?
Speaker 1: Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top
Speaker 1: of the tree.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I remember he did that every year back
Speaker 2: toward the end, when you know, before he retired. I
Speaker 2: remember somebody was chuckling in the background. Rob. That may
Speaker 2: have been you, because that was a later recording of it.
Speaker 2: But I think Dad, Joe. Didn't Dad do that every
Speaker 2: single year at Christmas time? Yeah? Joe by request, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Joe always asked him to do it. But fond memories
Speaker 2: of my dad, and of course I always got to
Speaker 2: kick out of that. That that that sort of a
Speaker 2: bit of a shaggy dog story on reaching the final conclusion,
Speaker 2: Just wonderful fond memories of Dad here as we approach
Speaker 2: Christmas holiday season. I hope my mom is enjoying it,
Speaker 2: and I know she experiences some melancholy, of course everyone would,
Speaker 2: but I feel like call him feel free five one
Speaker 2: three seven nine fifty five hundred. We'll have a few
Speaker 2: minutes to spend with each other before we get to
Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly's going to join the program sometime around eight
Speaker 2: thirty five to talk maybe politics a little bit, and
Speaker 2: of course plug his books, which are just great books.
Speaker 2: I just love Bill O'Reilly's books, but I think the
Speaker 2: world of Bill O'Reilly as well. It is a twenty
Speaker 2: five right now that you have k City Talk station
