Rather late to post as laptop playing up.Just want to wish Michael and all Gransnetter's a very 'Happy Christmas.' I hope you are enjoying your day. As I am here alone I will enjoy watching 'catch up' TV.
Thank you every one for brightening my days with your lovely thread and interesting and often amusing posts.

Merry Christmas all- however you spend the day- may it be the best it can be- and yes like Urms said- itโ€™s time to reflect and be thankful for us (in this house) this year and be grateful for what we have, and the love and help of family, friends and neighbours. ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป๐Ÿฅ‚x

I wrote out a message earlier but the phone went and although I thought I clicked post before answering I obviously did not. Merry Christmas everyone, wishing you peace & happiness. We are having a scaled down Christmas Day, Mr T is unwell so our meal will be less & lighter than usual, no bad thing at our age.

Hello everyone from Brum, we are here with daughter, son in law and granddaughter for Christmas having driven up from Cornwall. Despite everyone saying they didn't know what to buy we have all been blessed with some lovely thoughtful presents. Looking forward to our Christmas lunch of turkey! Whatever your circumstances, I wish you all a peaceful day. Much love.

A very Merry Christmas to everyone from a grey and windy but not yet raining north Bristol. I suspect rain is heading our way very soon. Marmalade the cat has had a little fresh turkey breast mixed in with his breakfast and is now snuggled on my bed next to the radiator. My son and I will be whisked away by a taxi at 1pm to enjoy Christmas lunch at a restaurant near the Harbourside. It's just the two of us these days. I shall raise a glass of my favourite cocktail to all on here.

Good morning Michael and all the gransnetters who are on this lovely kind thread. Iโ€™m another lurker and enjoy your posts, welcoming us all into your lives.
Merry Christmas everyone, may those who are poorly feel a little better today, and those who are sad be comforted.

Happy Christmas everyone, from a grey but very mild SW London.
Too long and involved to go into (COVID related) but weโ€™re back home when we should have been at dd1โ€™s today, so a 120 mile round trip yesterday, dropped off all the food Iโ€™d prepped.

Never mind, counting blessings this morning, still relatively very lucky - weโ€™ll get together soon. No Christmas dinner today, but weโ€™ll have some of the gammon Iโ€™d already cooked. Plus we have fizz and orange juice for Buckโ€™s Fizz, so cheers everybody! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅ‚๐ŸŽ„!

Bella23 Mon 25-Dec-23 11:03:09

All the best from our little corner of Eden to everyone.
Just starting to prep and then present opening so we can thank people when the facetimes start. There are so many this year last year we were all together. All in our small corners of England today.
Safe journey to Maw and others travelling and Sago keep off the Guinness it's too nice in Ireland.
GG I hope it stops raining and you have a lovely time with your family.
Thinking of everyone,Merry Christmaswine

My FIL always had pork pie for his breakfast on Christmas day NanKate he was from the West Midlands is it local to that area?

NanKate Mon 25-Dec-23 10:55:09

A very Happy Christmas ๐ŸŽ„ Mick and All the Good Morning Folk.

Just DH and I today and tomorrow. I got our unusual Christmas Breakfast that my dear Dad always had. Pork pie with a cranberry topping, small red wine followed by toast and marmalade. DH cooking the lunch๐Ÿ‘

Catching up with the family on Wednesday.
