Gransnet Christmas party - everyone welcome

Oh no, have my ear plugs in now.
I was in Sainsbury's today and Once in Royal David's City was playing, found myself singing and I got some very strange looks.
Probably because I was out of tune.

I may pop in with a few "Vodka Jellies" (if any left)!

I'll pop in and bring some stollen and gluwein. ?

Overdosed on Stollen, Bratwurst and Glühwein in Aachen a couple of weekends ago, but always ready for more.

How do you make vodka jellies please bikergran?

Jalimal108, very kind of you but I have suddenly become very overfull from - er - yesterday's breakfast or something :P

Happy Christmas to you all will bring some Thornton truffles before I eat them all and my other half will bring some music he is good at that. Prob be asleep in a chair by 10 but hey ho xxx

Noooo, not Driving Home for Christmas gd! I’ve been hearing it for the last couple of months as it was DH’s choice of music to learn and play on saxophone this year. Was hoping not to hear it again for a while! How about Coldplay Christmas lights? I’ll contribute a (M&S) Christmas cake.

Happy Christmas everyone. Lovely to read all the posts they keep me company! I'll certainly join you for a few drinks and snacks but my days of "Carlton " dancing are long gone lol

Anyone want the sloe gin I made four years ago? I decided I prefer straight gin!

Wish I could join you instead of home with depression being a cow to everyone

Merry Christmas everyone - hope you don’t mind, I’ve taken the liberty of laying on a couple of coaches - bring on the mulled wine!!

Oh I will be there. Thank you

I have a lovely bottle of caramel rum that I will bring. I have been keeping it for Christmas and will happily share it with you all. Kazzer come along and have a drink it may cheer you up.

Sloe gin sounds lovely maryhoffman37 and caramel rum Kacee, Merry Chrismas everyone "hic"

I bought an extra Christmas pudding incase we run short but quite sure we won't need it. I'll bring it along together with some brandy butter.

I’ll bring the chocolate log I have been wrestling with all afternoon (now that should conjure up some bizarre images!!). It actually looks as if a wrestler fell on it, but it should taste okay!

Half-finished trifle anyone?

Sorry - the latest cookery term is 'deconstructed trifle'

No-one will notice our culinary disasters Greyduster, after a few slugs of maryhoffman's sloe gin and Kacee's caramel rum
there is lots of sherry in the trifle as well Hic

kazzer hope you feel up to joining in

Greyduster I have just the thing for you and me, and no, we aren't sharing.
It is Pink Gin which is new to me ,it is very good, I know this because I have had to sample of course.

IngeJones are you turning down my mince pies?

The pigeons may get them for breakfast

Actually, I may give them to that man who is still madly dancing in the OP - they should slow him down no end as they're so heavy.

Pink gin! Ann I will be very pleased to join you in partaking of that, as I will drink gin of any colour and provenance, but have never had pink gin!

Something needs to slow him down! Whatever he is on, I could do with some this afternoon!

DD2 persuaded me to try rhubarb and ginger gin (after years of telling everyone I can't stand the taste of gin it's my new favourite drink!!) I'll bring some along shall I?

Also a big tub of ice-cream.It just slides down!
