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?

Advocates and dainty glasses so we can have snowballs. Remember them ?

The butler's pantry is fine for me as long as the butler and footmen are in there too.

Wellingtons will be worn by one and all, to go for walkies with the Westies next morning.

AGA carriages at 3 am, or stay, up to you.I believe you were found in the butlers pantry last year, curled up with the under footman ( or under the butler, can’t quite remember.)

Undergarments will be worn, for a change, probably thick woollen no nonsense ones.

Tea, Earl Grey, loose leaf, of course. I will need a nice cuppa and a sit down at some point.

Silky stockings, suspender belt and my gold lame mini skirt. Plus crimson boob tube of course and purple 6 inch heels.

I will also bring a Christmas cake with a hint of sardine.

Will you send your carriage for me lemon?

Queenly regalia and quarter staff for knocking the heads of any quislings who may try to sneak in.

This all sounds too festive for the mutinous mood I'm in. Think I'll stay and eat worms.

May I ask if my two pooches can come they do not like to be left home alone. I will put on their best red Christmas bows and promise they will behave, they love a good Christmas Ball and I am quite partial myself bringing some champagne.
