Seems ages since we had a quiet corner bolt hole, so how about a new seasonal one ?
Just a little spot to come and visit from time to time and re-charge batteries. Nothing heavy or serious ever happens in here, it's a place for bantering and smiling.
If it's a Grotto, maybe a few twinkly lights over the entrance? Plenty of squishy sofas for relaxing. I've left a plate of mince pies on the table and a flask of hot chocolate, so help yourselves.
Does anyone have any nice scented candles?

Oh I so wish I didn't have to go to work, that squishy sofa is calling to me
Pop in and put your feet up after work baubles........ the hot chocolate may have been swapped for a few bottles of wine by then
for a very groany joke!
The hot chocolate automatically tops itself up so there'll be plenty here.
Lovely idea - thank you Ntoso. I'll pop back later with some mince pies.
Notso - Ever true to form, you come up with just the right idea at just the right moment! Lovely.
Here are the candles - not scented - but will flicker just as beautifully.
I'll be popping in later for a mid-morning snack of when's mince pies.
Gentle carols on a continuous loop kitty. On the subject of rushing around, I've woken up in a spit-spotty mood today, which is unusual for me (I wouldn't dare fess up on the housework thread!) I just need to decide what to be spit-spotty about
Prety candles Butty, a very relaxing atmosphere.....
Lovely, notso. I'll leave this gloomy morning behind and enjoy the hot chocolate and good company - as soon as I finish my breakfast 
.
Notso - you're not going to get a scented candle anywhere 
- but Butty's ones sound lovely and kitty's mulled wine will scent the atmosphere beautifully! Light the fire and fling another log on for me....I'll be there shortly.
Oooh, I like this! I haven't been with Gransnet all that long and am feeling that all the arguments and back stabbing aren't doing much for my state of mind - this sounds lovely..squishy sofas, marshmellows, carols - somebody will be bringing chestnuts no doubt. Trouble is I have a huge list of stuff to get through so I can't stay but I hope you lazy ladies have a lovely time. I'm [green]
Don't start these mince pies yet - they've just come out of the oven. There's rather a lot of brandy in them. They'll be ready by about 10.30 to have with hot drinks. I'm just going shopping so please save me one
Oh, how lovely it's looking! I have a spare tree Hunt , I'm going up in the loft within the next half hour, so I'll bring it with me.
I love virtual mulled wine glamma, even at this time of the morning It's totally guilt free!
Right, off to do some more spit-spotting.
I've got some spare tree lights here. Can someone put them on notso's tree, please? I'm just off out. Back later
Notso you shamed me into cleaning the glass doors and shelves in the kitchen so I'd like a hot chocolate with everything please before I have to go out. Shall I pick up some Cherry Brandy? Just remembered, I've got some plum wine left over - that is quite warming I've found
Can I share a little giggle faux pas I made some years ago? (It might be censored so read it quickly)
I decided it was time we had some outdoor lights so I toddled off to my favourite emporium and bought same which I draped artistically around the large Pyracantha by the front door.
Rang my best friend neighbour to chat, and in the course of that told her that I had put my outdoor lights up, when asked where I replied (and wish I hadn't)
"In my bush".
Apparently she had to be helped up from the floor and I have had to live with comments about walking funny ever since.
