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?

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

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?

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

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?

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

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 ?

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?

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?

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?

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 ?

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?

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

4

Do you bring in the New Year with Jules Holland?

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?

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?

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?

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

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

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

Yesterday! Tuesday

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?

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?

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?

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 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?

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

No, hardly in use these days.

Do you still have Christmas leftovers?

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?

Mollygo Mon 28-Dec-20 11:14:48

Neither really.
Do you do jigsaws on your tablet?
