Hello-ho-ho! tchgrin

As part of my rehabilitation (ahem) tchblush
I thought I'd start a Christmas Game.

Pretty straight forward, as per title:
Answer the question and post your own.

Happy Christmas Everyone! tchsmile wine roastchicken

What's your favourite Christmas Carol?

Puzzler61 Mon 28-Dec-20 11:21:22

I thought that your post said “table” Molly ?
No, not on tablet, on dining table.

Has your car been in the car wash lately?

Nana3 Wed 30-Dec-20 02:42:42

No, hardly in use these days.

Do you still have Christmas leftovers?

FannyCornforth Wed 30-Dec-20 04:20:51

I still have some red cabbage in redcurrant sauce and vegetarian pigs in blankets that I haven't cooked and I need to make some more mince pies!

When was the last time that you went properly out for NYE? Where did you go?

BBbevan Wed 30-Dec-20 04:24:39

Years ago I would think. We went for a curry with my sister and BiL

Have you ever been on a cruise?

FannyCornforth Wed 30-Dec-20 05:14:54

No I haven't! That's a brilliant idea for a thread! I could go and on about the pros and cons, I've given it loads of thought! I'd like to go on a Scandinavian one, as an entry level one. I don't like hot weather.

I'm going to repeat your question BBb ( hey, it's my thread!) have you been on a cruise?

Puzzler61 Wed 30-Dec-20 07:36:23

No, but if I did I would like to go on a river cruise starting in Cologne and along the Rhine to the wine region and onwards to somewhere like the Danube if possible.

Do you have a favourite sandwich?

Billybob4491 Wed 30-Dec-20 08:24:41

Got to be cheese and pickle I think with a coating of Marmite!

How soon do you step on the scales after Christmas?

Cfaz49 Wed 30-Dec-20 08:37:34

Yesterday! Tuesday

Cfaz49 Wed 30-Dec-20 08:38:21

Oops forgot to ask
What Christmas Day dessert did you have?

henetha Wed 30-Dec-20 09:58:47

Boringly, Christmas pudding with clotted cream.. It was ok, just a bit dry.

Are you going to plant a tree in your garden, or elsewhere?

Kim19 Thu 31-Dec-20 13:43:44

Yes, I have a birch waiting for the snow to disappear.

Do you have any plans to arrange a future holiday?

MiniMoon Thu 31-Dec-20 14:44:15

Got Christmas in New York on hold until after the pandemic. We ought to have been there in November, with a seven day return voyage on Queen Mary 2. We cancelled, but rebooked for 2021. Here's hoping!

How many house plants do you have?

crazyH Thu 31-Dec-20 14:52:35

4

Do you bring in the New Year with Jules Holland?

Nortsat Thu 31-Dec-20 14:55:39

Well we will this year ... first time we haven’t been out for a very long time.

Which Christmas present was the biggest surprise?

BBbevan Thu 31-Dec-20 15:33:34

FannyC yes I have been on several. Love Norway. We could go there forever

Answer to previous ?
Sheaf of dried flowers from DS. They smell like a hayfield.

Have you been for a walk today. It’s lovely out ?

Marmight Thu 31-Dec-20 16:24:59

No. I wanted to but had to wait in for a delivery (?) and now it’s too late!

Are you staying up until midnight to see in the New Year?

Puzzler61 Thu 31-Dec-20 16:37:22

Maybe, but even if we are in bed we will have the TV or radio on. My priority will be keeping my cat calm when the fireworks start.

Have you hung your calendar up ready to open tomorrow?

lemongrove Thu 31-Dec-20 16:54:08

No, I have to wait until tomorrow to make sure I’m still alive?
Am having champagne tonight....are you?

Spinnaker Thu 31-Dec-20 17:27:47

Most definitely we are - there's more than a New Year to celebrate tonight ??????

We are also having smoked salmon - are you ?

LauraNorder Thu 31-Dec-20 18:38:27

Yes smoked salmon on sourdough bread with cream cheese and caviar.

Have you ever been on a cruise and enjoyed it? Satisfying Fanny’s yearning. Well it’s her thread

Scentia Thu 31-Dec-20 18:56:22

Yes, a Caribbean Cruise last Christmas, clearly just missed the Cruise Covid Outbreaks!!

Are you contemplating booking a holiday for 2021?

Jaxjacky Thu 31-Dec-20 19:07:29

No, not booking anything, if we can go safely, will look last minute, probably UK

If you’re having a drink now, what is it? I

Nana3 Wed 06-Jan-21 08:28:47

I'm having a cup of tea DH made it for me, he's working from home today because of lockdown.

Do you think you are drinking more alcohol these days?

FannyCornforth Wed 06-Jan-21 08:44:22

Probably a bit less to be honest due to medication

I do drink quite a bit though!

Because the festive season has ended, and we are at the start of a new lock down season, I'm going to start a new thread. Thank you for taking part everyone! thanks
