When Santa Clause first started giving gifts to all the good boys and girls, there weren't as many people in the world as there is now. It was easy to sneak quietly into cottages and castles to place the gifts at the foot of the childrens beds. But as we all know, time marches on, and soon the world became more populated. It grew more difficult to give all the gifts on one night. Santa decided to have a meeting with everyone at the North Pole to discuss his options. "I need to get in and out more quickly and put the gifts in one location. I don't have time to search each house to find the childrens rooms," he explained. Many ideas circulated during the meeting, and someone mentioned putting up a tree and decorating it. That way, he could enter the house, find the decorated tree quickly, place the gifts and move on to the next home. "That is a very good idea! Lets do it," Santa exclaimed. One of the elves asked what kind of tree should be used, and Santa came up with the idea of a contest. Everyone would bring their favorite tree and he would decide which one it would be. Pretty soon, everyone was bringing trees to Santa. The reindeer were angry because the stables were full of trees. The elves were angry because the workshops were full. Even Mrs. Clause was angry. She went to stay with her mother because the house was so full of trees. After a few days of cold leftovers and complaints about all the different kinds of trees, an angel brought is the most beautiful evergreen tree in to Santa. "Where do you want me to put this tree, Santa?......and that is why there is an angel on top of the Christmas tree.
