Christmas
We've dusted off the baubles, stocked up on bubbly and mince pies, and will be putting up the tree tomorrow. All in preparation for the annual online Gransnet Christmas Party. Although we may have to replenish the tins of chocolates (someone has demolished the lot ?). 
We know that for many reasons, some of you might be spending the festive season on your own, so if that's the case, or if you simply find a spare minute on the day and fancy popping in to celebrate, please do.
There'll be a welcome mulled wine from HQ, some cheesy Christmas jokes, and loads of good wishes from fellow gransnetters. 
EDIT: We've even got The Gransnet Playlist sorted thanks to your suggestions. So feel free to have this on high volume while you dance around the kitchen.
There is a strong history of "wise women", sometimes the term was used for a witch!

Phoenix; Is there? I wouldn't know! Somebody should have told "Bill S", then he might not have coined "Hubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble, witches burn etc." He wasn't thinking of the 3 wise men.
Ray Coniff (had to look him up!)
Iza; You should have looked how to spell his name, whilst you were at it, but you're forgiven. {tchwink]
I note that your trio of musos' pluck guitar strings; might be quite good too, but what we need firstly for the party is someone who is good at plucking goose feathers! Any volunteers?

Lemongrove; Your turn next for a"roasting, but it's 8.15pm, so I'll have to get my tea/dinner; not goose; crumbed whiting! Back in a mo'!
Changed my mind on my way to the freezer; creamy tuna mornay bake instead; it's Friday so must still go with fish!
Your count to 3 is irrelevant when you consider our combined ages and factor in our collective IQs. We could be on a TV Brains Trust at the drop of a hat!
Just joined in this thread - drinking wine from buckets! I am appalled! What's wrong with straight from the bottle .
Will try to pop in on Christmas Day but between bucks fizz with breakfast, sherry before lunch, wine with lunch, champagne and chocs in the afternoon - I may not be able to focus on the keyboard!
What's wrong with straight from the bottle?
Sunseeker; "Buck's Fizz for breckie!? My word! With such impeccable taste you are more than welcome to join this thread and lift the standard a bit and it suggests you are a lady "Netter" and not macho-man.! True or False? But wouldn't a champagne flute look classier than "straight from the bottle?" 
Refus: Bucks fizz WITH breakfast not for breakfast! I start off with a ladylike flute but things can go downhill fast (at least I haven't resorted to drinking out of a bucket )
Smashed hand and wrist
Iza; Sorry to hear that! 
You don't come across as a political activist so you wouldn't have been marching and (bath)tub thumping, although you say you've studied that thanks to your 3 godchildren. My musical prowess is Nil, although I have been heard to blow my own trumpet at times, but quickly told to shut up! Not even attempted the didgeridoo!
Take care!
Can I come too, please?
Tooglam; What a lovely name! Of course you can! With a name like that you can't be a chap, but you can't be too careful these days!
Btw; we don't seem to have a bar-person; interested? Cheers
Our current Aldi catalogue lists "Golden Sheep Ale 500ml a refreshing beautifully balanced ale fermented in traditional Yorkshire square fermenting vessels"
What the brexit does a "square vessel" do for it? There's also a Black Sheep Ale advertised (non-square I take it), but in the light of recent posts I think that's best left unopened!
Thanks @rufus2! Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy new year!
