SubscribeGood Morning Everyone,
Its dark, but its dry here in Brackley this morning.
Up early as usual ,nothing much to say only Merry Christmas, to everyone .
I only hope the forthcoming weeks things improve in the UK , as to all the restrictions we face in different parts of the country.
Take Care ,
Mick
Hi NanKate
Have a great time under your Christmas umbrella
Good Morning and Christmas greetings to you all.
Just had a FaceTime call from youngest DGS. Very excited because apparently a reindeer has been in his house ! Will speak to all the family later when it is a bit calmer.
Not much to say except I hope you all have the best day possible and find some ? along the way.
Lovely to see you back here today Sparklefizz. ?
Good morning Mick and All the wonderful GM friends.
It’s bright and cold in South Bucks.
As I said yesterday I have invited a lone neighbour, who is always up for a bit of fun, for a glass of bubbly on the Green in front of the house, as no garden meeting is allowed in Tier 4. Well DH has got out the summer parasol decked it in Xmas lights, has got decorations hanging from it, set up a table with glasses and a plate for some sweetmeats (whatever those are) plus 3 big lanterns. The neighbours will think we have gone completely looney when we manage to erect all of this outside in the frozen cold. Desperate times need desperate measures.
Thank you Ashcombe for the Christmas Blessing. ?✨
Have the best day you can folks.
Good morning Mick and everyone from a very cold and frosty South Gloucestershire.
Wishing everyone the best Christmas they can manage, and caring thoughts to all of you.
When my granddaughter was aged 2, I took her to the Carols round the Crib at our village church. On the way there I said she couldn't run around in there because it was God's house.
As we left, the vicar was standing in the porch thanking everyone for coming, and my granddaughter said "Are you God?"
He laughed and said "No, but I'll dine out on that all over Christmas!"
Stay safe everyone, and look forward to a better year in 2021.
Merry Christmas everyone. Just opened a couple of lovely gifts. Both edible. Guess that tells a story. About to be showered and thoroughly Covid cleansed before my short trip to family. A leisurely healthy breakfast then just car to pack (all lined up at the door already) then I'm off. Can't wait. GC will be high as kites and undoubtedly enjoying Santa's contribution already. Wonderful. Hope everyone has a lovely day whatever they have chosen to do.
Lins that's a very fine poinsettia
First year in many that I haven't had one.
It's been a bit like that this year, hasn't it...
Lovely pink sunrise now. (Forget red sky in the morning being shepherds’ warning,)
Good morning mick and all for a cold and frosty Inverness.
Just wanting to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and say thank you all for this lovely friendly thread that starts my day off so well each morning.
Hoping everyone has the best possible day even though it’s a very different Christmas this year. A special thought for all those with sadness in their hearts this time of year
Stay safe everyone ?
I hope everyone has as lovely day.
I don’t normally post on this thread so hope you regulars don’t mind. I am just having a quick GM fix before ignoring it all day.
So many of us will be having our last contact, for a while with our family. Enjoy it. as much as possible.
My sister has put her turkey in the freezer. We WILL have it at Easter , if Marydoll doesn’t come round and leave the door open?. ??????.
Merry Christmas! Wishing everyone the best day possible.?
Good morning from a cold and frosty Colchester. Just peeped out of the window after reading of snow in Suffolk..none here.
Crawled back into bed where DH is still snoring.
Happy White (officially)bChristmas to you all.❄️?❄️
Merry Christmas everyone from the Lins family, Nadolig Llawen.
We enjoyed your daughter's Midnight Mass grandMattie.
We had a nice walk yesterday, on the walk back to the car we passed a man carrying two boxes of Real Ales and a pack of crumpets on top - it made me smile and think of you EV.
Hope that everyone will enjoy this special day.
Good morning and ‘il-Milied it-tajjeb’ from Malta.
Mick when you started your first GM thread I wonder if you imagined how special it would become to so many gransnetters. Thank you for always starting the days for us.?
Wishing you all a good Christmas Day whatever your plans, and thank you for the virtual friendship.
I have slipper envy! ?????
Scentia you have got my slippers on! (Lovely and comfy aren't they?)
Happy Christmas everyone!
I have not posted recently but have been reading and wanted to say thank you all for your warm and thoughtful posts through this year.
I have had a lot of support from some great GNs this year when I have needed it so much.
Thank you all and I hope all of you have a great day with your loved ones either in the flesh or virtual and that everyone has a safe time.
Happy Christmas everyone from a frosty south coast! Not often we are this cold down here, unlike our Pennine homeland!
DD brought gifts for a present exchange at the garden gate yesterday and it was good to see her albeit briefly. We have a family zoom call booked for 11am so just hope the teenagers can be roused from their beds by then to join in. I miss their lovely faces!
Easy eating for us today - halibut with lemon butter sauce, new potatoes and broccoli spears. Tiramisu for pud. Neither of us keen on traditional Christmas dinner so decided to choose what we like best to eat and halibut is a real treat.
Enjoy the day as best you can, wherever you are and here's hoping 2021 is a better year than 2020 has been!
Merry Christmas to Mick and all my dear Goodmorning friends, from a frosty and cold Glasgow.
Ashcome, thank you for the beautiful quote. A different Christmas from our usual celebrations.
It felt very strange not going to Midnight Mass, which I usually help organise. I miss seeing friends and singing carols which usually reduce me to tears, but we managed to watch an earlier online service from our church, which gave us some comfort and hope.
I wish to thank you all for all your support and friendship , the perfect gift in what has been a terrible year. As long as we still have hope and continue to look after each other, we will get there.
Whatever you are doing, wishing you all the best of days. Thinking especially of anyone who has lost someone this year and for those reading, but not having the courage to post, just pop in and say Hello!
My Christmas present to you all, no lengthy novella today!
PS. As to be expected in the Marydoll household, the day has started with a disaster, SOMEONE left the freezer door open!
Happy Christmas from a very cold, clear N Hants. Wishing you all the best possible day you can have, some with and some without loved ones. Whatever you are doing, I hope you find some joy in this special day.
Thank you for the beautiful blessing Ashcombe. It will stay with me ?✨?
Merry Christmas from a cold dark Bolton, a very different Christmas day than the one last year. (manic with the house full of family and friends) - think I wished then for a bit of peace & quiet but now I want the manic day back !!
Hoping everyone has a relaxing day with some nice treats for all.
Enjoy your Christmas day x
Good morning everyone from a dark, dry and fairly mild South Manchester.
Has he been yet? I’m expecting a call from two excited children soon telling me that he has!
??
7 of us for our Christmas lunch. Picking up my stepfather at 1pm, off to our youngest daughter & son in law’s (who are both good cooks!) and then we will leave around 6pm I think. T3 in Manchester so we can all enjoy this one day together.
Thinking of all who are struggling today for whatever reason. It’s not the easiest day for some.
Wishing everyone here a happy Christmas. xx
Good morning and a Very Happy Christmas from a decidedly cold Essex by the sea.
DH still in bed, I'll make a cup of tea soon.
I had a lovely Zoom call with both DD's and granddaughters yesterday, it was lovely for us all to see each other.
Have the best Christmas Day you can, eat, drink and be merry.
Love and Christmas greetings to you all ??? xx
