As usual, there will be a grand Christmas Ball , and the invitations have already been sent out to you all, on very expensive hand crafted cards with scalloped 22carat gold edging.To be held a few days before Christmas and the venue is Lemongrove Manor (in England, somewhere in the back of beyond).To those of you who have never attended before,
Say what you will be bringing and a line or two of chat ( or a much as you want to) although it’s alphabetical in nature (although we usually get very mixed up) this thread is a cross between a game and general chat.Dress beautifully please?

Noxious fumes rising from the ‘mulled wine’ punch? what did AGA put in it?

Oranges. I will carry a basket of them around but no squeezing my fruits

Prince Harry.....I invited him and he said he would come dressed as a parson ( although it’s not that kind of party!)

Quintessential, though

Unexpected gifts, think they’re called favours at modern parties. Could contain sweeties, baubles, tiny trinkets and coins

Vintners to provide only the best wines
