The Christmas Fairy

[Char]

Santa was very upset. It was Christmas Eve and NOTHING was going right!

Mrs. Claus had burned all the mince pies. The elves were complaining about not getting paid overtime. The reindeer had been drinking sherry all afternoon and were dead drunk. And to make matters worse, they had taken the sleigh out for a spin earlier in the day and crashed it into a tree.

Santa was furious. "I can't believe it! I've got to deliver millions of presents all over the world in just a few hours and all of my reindeer are drunk, the elves are on strike and I don't even have a Christmas tree!" He continued, "I sent that stupid little Christmas fairy out hours ago to find a tree and she isn't back yet! What am I going to do?"

Just then, the Christmas fairy opened the front door and stepped in from the snowy night, dragging a Christmas tree behind her. She said, "Yo, fat man! Where do you want me to stick the tree this year?"

And thus the tradition of fairies on top of the Christmas tree got its start.

Fa la la la la, la la, la la.

The Mrs. mentioned this morning she had just read that Noddy Holder is delighted that Slade's hit is still so popular. Apparently he is still getting royalties when it is played on air. I was surprised and delighted to hear that, knowing what I know about the music business. So many artists were getting sod all a few years after their music slides off the charts. One band that was at or near the top of the UK charts in the 60's got nothing but a set weekly wage. The front man had them sign their royalty rights over to him. That sucks.

I know, a lot of bands were completely ripped off during that time weren't they. One of the reasons the dear departed Frank Zappa started his own record label, Barking Pumpkin, was so that he could make sure he kept the rights to his own work.
