Apologies fir waking anybody up , but Good morning and a Happy Christmas to you all!
There has been much tiptoeing and whispering going on as those of you with GC staying or who are visiting family with little ones will be experiencing. Can’t we all remember those happy days days when we struggled through Christmas Day on a minimum of sleep - it used to seem like barely an hour between tiptoeing into bedrooms with the stockings and “HE’S BEEN!”
My Christmas started with a magical Christingle service yesterday then home for mulled wine and to dry out as it was chucking it down.
For those of you alone - not by choice- or with worries and sadness, I hope the spirit of Christmas will envelop you like a warm hug and bring you comfort and strength for the days to come.
God bless us every one!

Isn’t it lovely to see so many readers but non posters posting this morning.
Just goes to show just how many readers Mick’s thread attracts every morning.

Happy Christmas one and all! My don't some of you get up early, I looked at my clock this morning and it was 8.47, lovely lie in, even the dog had not stirred. Off to walk her in a minute then off to DD's for lunch.
Enjoy the day everyone.

Good morning from a damp and dreary Dorset, merry Christmas, and thank you for your lovely welcome yesterday.
Been up ages and begun the juggling display to get everything cooked, but only just supplied DH with his breakfast! Two DDs, their partners and two GDs, plus two lively labradors, coming for lunch. Hope you all have the best day possible.

Good morning from the High Peak.
Happy Christmas everyone.☃️❄️??

Happy Christmas everyone!
After church yesterday evening we went back to a neighbour's, just as we did for many years after we moved to the area. Nice to get back to 'traditions'.
Had my best Christmas present this morning. Having sent an early 'Happy Christmas' to our 10 year old GD I got a prompt reply. She's at the other end of the country, so we only see her a few times a year.

Good morning, and Merry Christmas ? from a grey and overcast Northumberland. Just relaxing before I start the lunch preparations. Watching two cock pheasants strut around the garden.
After lunch we are visiting family.
Enjoy the day in your own way.

trisher Sat 25-Dec-21 09:20:41

Merry Christmas! The sun has risen the sky is blue. Off for lunch with the family.

Good Morning and a Merry Christmas to All x.
So dark this morning but it's dry and doesn't feel too cold.

Cats fed, except old Tom who lives in the kennel outside. I imagine as soon as I open the living room curtains his face will be pressed against the patio door---with his " one-eye" which doesn't stop him from missing anything grin

I'm pretty well organised for my dinner later with turkey crown cooked yesterday and remembered to soak the peas last night, so along with sprouts it's perhaps a good job I'll be dining alone grin

D will pop in later on if she can manage it. GD can hold the fort as she'll be with the children today. I have a stack of presents waiting for them all. I can imagine the racket at D's right now, something I remember years ago with shrieks of " look what I've got ", happy times. The innocent excitement of magic.

Loved your OP Maw with its memories, thankyou.
Lovely to see what everyone's doing and planning for the day. Travellers take care, though I visualise the roads being clearer than of late, stay safe.

To those not up to the day, I hope things improve as you go along flowers
How lovely to see the " readers " amongst us as well as those regulars who've had long breaks .*Bellasnana*, good to see you too.

Must throw the clothes on now and flick the flannel over my face just to show there's no ill feeling.
I hope you all have a lovely day. Take care and stay safe. xx

Happy Christmas to you all and wishing each and everyone of you a happy, healthy day.

Merry Christmas everyone from a windy north Lancs. Christmas dinner is ready to cook, except for the devils on horseback which I’m just preparing for me and my son-in-law since the rest of the family prefer pigs in blankets.
We’re off for a walk along the sea front to admire all the dogs in Christmas costumes.
Hope you all have a good day, alone or with family.

aggie Sat 25-Dec-21 09:18:49

Happy Christmas ? ?? Everyone , lots of photos pinging into my iPad , I’m not sending any ! The kids , big and small are so excited that the happiness zooms through ?

muse Sat 25-Dec-21 09:17:49

Nadelik Lowen! Merry Christmas all from a grey Cornwall.
Looking forward to a chat with my two. Will be ringing them soon.
Kettle is now on for tea.
Stay safe. ????‍??

Well, my post disappeared. We seem to have a dodgy connection this morning. Hope it doesn't bode ill for later on.
Happy Christmas to Maw and Annie, and those who have not posted for ages. Hello there Bellasnana.
We will be chauffeured to DD this morning and home again tomorrow, by our wonderful son in law.
Sending greetings to all who have been through sad times this year.
Have a peaceful day, excited GC permitting.
