What am I doing up? 6am and I sprang creaked out of bed, made a cup of tea and put the turkey in the oven. Going out mid-morning to visit grandchildren and do the rounds, then it's back here to prepare the rest of the dinner. Gave a great day, everyone, and to any Gransnetter who is on her own today, love and peace. There'll be a few of us popping in every now and again to keep you company flowers wine

A merry Christmas morning to you all. Thinking of those for whom today is a struggle and I hope it turns out better than expected. tchsmile

Good morning and a happy Christmas to everyone. Thinking especially of those whose holiday has been ruined by floods, lack of electricity and relatives not arriving due to transport delays. An especial hug to anyone on their own. tchgrin

Good morning everyone the last of the veg has just been done and packed up for shipping to DD's so a relaxing bath is the order of the day before Father Christmas arrives at DD's house.
Everyone on their own or has been affected by the weather take care of yourselves and come in for a chat & a wine or brew.

Good Morning from the North East coast . Just enjoying the peace and quiet and a nice cup of tea before setting off to visit DGC, DS and DDiL . Then dashing back to prepare dinner for the family.

My thoughts are with all of those who (for whatever reason) are spending Christmas away from their loved ones. Take care . tchsmile

Good morning and happy Christmas to all. tchsmile
It's a peaceful day for me after last night with ds and family, and I'm back there tomorrow.
I'm so lucky and my thoughts are with everyone who is struggling with floods, non-travel (?) and loneliness.

Good morning and Happy Christmas to all of you. So many different Christmaseses being had too. Last year DH and I set off with dinner to share a meal with my housebound mum. Her last Christmas and rather melancholic. This year we're off for lunch to DD2 with SiL's family and our DS and his family too. Meal curtesy of M&S! And next year???

Have a good day everyone. A day for Carol's, children, excitement - and memories. wine

Good morning and Happy Christmas to all, especially to those on their own not through choice tchsmile

I'm feeling a little fragile as had a bit of a late night at a friend's dinner - just having a cup of tea before I peel the potatoes, would rather go back to bed!

Have a lovely day everyone,.

Good morning everyone, and a Happy Christmas to you all. Special thoughts for those on their own who might be sad about that, those missing their loved ones, and the people whose Christmas may have been spoiled by the awful weather.

Another day, it will soon be over

Good morning everyone - Happy Christmas to you all. Here it is still a bit damp but very mild. Out for lunch with friends but ten of us so we share the work - pudding simmering away - root veg peeled and almost ready for the oven - just the brussel sprouts to prepare for stir frying. Our neighbour has just been with a bag containing interesting looking things including eggs from her hens. Hope you all have satisfying days. X x

Good morning, and a Happy Christmas to you all, my friends. Special thoughts for those on their own and in trouble.

It is one of those beautiful days here - crisp, blue skies and sunshine. A gift. Off to DD and family soon - just a drive across the water. Theseus spent yesterday afternoon in the pub with "the boys" and has now renounced strong drink - at least for today. "The girls" and I drank in a certain moderation. Well, that's my story!

Love to you all.

Beautiful day here. Various family members arriving early afternoon. Food is all under control and bahaving itself thus far. DD and SIL went to the village publast night and SIL seems to have arranged a village charity football match confused. DD is currently decorating [she's relentless]. Dog has had a long walk and is out for the count. It's all going far too well....Happy Christmas everyone.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Lots of present opening from two excited little boys - and chocolate for breakfast! - quite a bit of which is on the carpet and sofa!

POGS Wed 25-Dec-13 11:01:24
