HOW DID THE FAIRY GET ON TOP OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE?
As you can see from the foregoing, Santa was getting very stressed with
the threat of the CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority here in Oz)check
ride (substitute kangaroos for reindeer also known as 'six white
boomers'.
Mrs Claus was on his back 'cause he has not yet cut the grass for the
barbie tomorrow(no snow in Oz, great scorching summers day, yay...) and
the barbie (BBQ) is still in the shed covered in cobwebs and they are
having a few people around for lunch, prawns, damper on the menu and a
few XXXX (4x beer) have to be bought and a bag of ice for the esky to
look after the beer.
Any way, all this is getting to Santa and he was getting a bit stressed
making sure he has the weight and balance right then in trots the fairy
with a huge Christmas tree. She goes upto Santa (brave fairy) and taps
him on the knee cap (she was too short to reach his shoulder) and she
says, "hey Santa where do you want the Christmas tree?"................
