* Humor!

When four of Santa’s elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Christmas pressure.

Then, Mrs. Claus told Santa her mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.

He went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.

When he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.

Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a glass of cider and a shot of rum. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully, ‘Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn’t this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?’

And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Not a lot of people know this.

A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats:

Dear Jeff,

My husband and I are recent (181 days ago) transplants from Manhattan to Royal Palm Beach and we are desperate for a good pastrami on rye. We’ve tried a number of South Florida bagel joints, kosher delis and various sandwich shops and to be honest “not good”.

Not expecting to find stuff like we were raised on like Katz’s, Carnegie, Sarge’s, Stage, 2nd Avenue and Lindy’s- but something “almost close”- would work for us!

Location wise…The closer the better to our Royal Beach condo, but we will definitely travel to fress!

Thanks,
Jan Martin

—————————

Jan Martin,

First things first- welcome to Florida!

Now, of course you do know that you’ve named some of the greatest pastrami on rye players of all-time!

Keeping the above in mind, checkout, Hilary’s Restaurant & Royal Deli, 650 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, Royal Palm Beach, Florida 33411, (561) 790-7301.

For future reference, Hilary’s Restaurant & Royal Deli is open 7 days a week 7am-3pm and its reasonabaly priced menu is loaded with breakfast stuff/ hot and cold sandwiches/ burgers/ salads/ entrees/ desserts.

Looking forward to your thoughts on Hilary’s pastrami on rye!

* Humor!

A prison guard went into work one day, and he was surprised to see one of his friends locked in a cell. He asked his friend what he was doing behind bars.

“Well, I was out doing my Christmas shopping one morning,” his friend explained, “and then the police handcuffed me and brought me here because they said I was getting it done too early.”

“Well, that doesn’t sound so bad,” said the guard. “I get my Christmas shopping done by the middle of November. How early did you do yours?”

His friend replied, “About three hours before the store opened.”

* Happy Hanukkah.
