When Rudolph had an upset stomach
It was one of Santa little helpers
Who came to the sick Reindeers rescue
And gave him some Elka-seltzer

WHEN RUDOLPH HAD AN UPSET STOMACH
Uncanny Christmas Tales – (020) A Winter’s Tale
It was in sixteenth century Germany, or so the legend has it, in a town called Wittenberg in Saxony-Anhalt.
That the founder of the protestant church, Martin
Luther, was the first to decorate a Christmas tree with lighted candles.
Apparently when he was walking home through the
forest one dark and frosty winter’s night, his attention was drawn to the
myriad of bright stars that he could see sparkling and twinkling through the
branches of the trees.
The beauty of the nights display had a great effect
on him, and he proceeded home very excited.
When he arrived home he relayed to his family what
he had seen and what had excited him so and almost immediately he set about
decorating his Christmas tree with candles and then to his families surprise he
lit them.
Goodness only knows what his family thought,
possibly that he was possessed, and what of the other people in the town, what
did they think of him and his antics?
It probably caused as much consternation than the
reformation.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 34
Twas the night before Christmas
And all thru the caravan
Not a creature was stirring
Which wasn’t the plan
But the camp site was flooded
So that was the reason
And would be out of action
For the festive season
THE SNOWMAN WORE A SMILE
The Snowman wore a smile
And was quietly humming
Because he knew that soon
The snowblower was coming
WHEN HE ONLY RECEIVED BATTERIES
When he only received batteries
His
enthusiasm was muted
But
there was a handwritten note
