És itt az eredeti is John Lennon-tól:

Itt a teljes történet:

A little known Christmas fact

Not long ago and far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip...but there were problems everywhere.

Four of his elves 1 were sick, and the trainee elves 2 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 3 told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This 4 stressed  Santa even more. When he 5 went to harness the reindeer, he 6 found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and 7 were out, heaven knows where. More Stress. Then when he 8 began to load the sleigh, one of the boards 9 cracked and the toy bag 10 fell to the ground and 11 scattered the toys. So, frustrated, Santa 12 went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he 13 found the elves had hidden the liquor and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he 14 dropped the coffee pot and it 15 broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the he kitchen floor.

He 16 went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made from.

Just then the doorbell 17 rang and Santa cursed on his way to the door. He 18 opened  the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel 19 said: "Where would you like to put this tree Santa?"

And that my friends, is how the little angel 20 came to be on top of the Christmas tree.

Ezt most csak azért, mert ma van december 6!

Reggel kinéztem az ablakon, és tudjátok, mit láttam? Ragyog a nap, a házunk mögötti hatalmas fenyőfasor csupa hó és a szántóföldön egyetlen vakító takaró! Ugye ilyenkor nektek sem a hideg, a latyak meg a gondok jutnak eszetekbe? Olyan jó lenne még gyereknek lenni, és a télnek mindig csak a szép részét észrevenni!

Jól van, megadom magam: engem is elért a karácsonyi készülődés hangulata. Egész héten azon gondolkodtam, hogy idén tényleg sk készítésű ajándékokkal lepem meg a családot. A lányom lassan hatéves lesz, elég nagy már ahhoz, hogy segítsen. Így tényleg megtanulhatja, hogy nem az ajándék pénzbeli értéke számít, hanem a szeretet, amivel készült.  Én pedig, mivel a második babánkat várva itthon töltöm már a napjaimat, nem hozhatom fel kifogásként, hogy munka mellett nem lesz időm az igazi, hangulatos készülődésre…Szóval, most vagy soha! Mézeskalácsot fogunk sütni, angyalkás díszeket fogunk ragasztgatni és persze karácsonyi dalokat hallgatunk közben. Olyanokat, mint ez is:
