A festive hello to all gransnetters! tchsmile

As everyone else seems to already have their fairy lights twinkling and baubles out, we thought it’s time for us to do the same. So welcome everyone to our annual Gransnet Christmas Party. As health has been top of most of our agendas this year, we’re thrilled that Ensure NutriVigor is sponsoring this year’s festivities.

Not only that but they are giving one lucky gransnetter on this thread a £100 voucher to spend at a shop of their choice to start the new year in style (usual competition T&Cs apply). The winner will be picked at random from all who comment on this thread by 11am on 1st January 2021, so don’t forget to pop on and wish your fellow GNers a merry Christmas! flowers

It’s fair to say 2020 has been a bit of a shocker, and we know that because of health concerns, long distances, or many other reasons, plenty of you will be spending Christmas on your own. Which is where the Gransnet Virtual Christmas Party comes in. No need to battle the ghastly traffic, icy weather or smile through the sprouts. Simply don your sparkliest finery, pour a glass of your favourite tipple and come join us for some good company, virtual mince pies and questionable taste in Christmas decor - we do gaudy very well here at HQ. tchgrin

Everyone is welcome (as long as you bring something tasty to add to our virtual buffet) and even if you’ve got a busy day planned do pop in and wish your fellow gransnetters a Merry Christmas.

In the meantime shall we get into the spirit with some really cheesy Christmas jokes? Who’s first?

Happy Christmas! Please help yourselves to one of these crisps. Yes, I'm ruining my appetite before dinner. At least I've had some exercise by giving my Sugar Plum Fairy in the kitchen while better half listens to The Nutcracker!?????

I've just had an amazing Christmas present. My son and his wife are 6 weeks pregnant. Early days I know. So whilst I am here sharing my news I want to wish everyone a happy, healthy and safe Christmas. Lots of love to all my fellow GN.s xx

A couple were in bed and the wife said I was dreaming I was in Tesco's, the husband said I was dreaming I was in bed with two beautiful women, she said "was I there?" he said "no, you were at Tesco's".

So this time last year we were blissfully unaware of the horrors of 2020. Forearmed is forewarned. Never take anything for granted and be thankful for what you have. Merry Christmas everyone. Be safe, be happy, be kind and all the best for 2021 smile

Merry Christmas all.

I've given in and gone to bed. Absolutely shattered after days of shopping, wrapping, more shopping, prep, cooking and cleaning. Have a wonderful evening - feel free to share my alcohol units amongst yourselves. (Dont say I never give you anything) I've wanted my calories for the day or I’d share those too.

Happy Christmas to some of the most sensible and kindest people on social media - what I love about this site is that if there are nasty comments, the poster is soon shot down by others. Please carry on being strong, tolerant and kind Grans/Grandmas/Nannas/ and every other lovely relative. May 2021 be a wonderful year for all of us, being able to see all our loved ones that we have all missed so much xx

Happy Christmas everyone, my feet are up and the chocolates are down! The day is drawing to a close and I can reflect on it now.
Despite everything it has been a good day for the two of us, with so much to be grateful for - safety, warmth, shelter, food, even sunshine and blue skies. Our hearts go out to the poor folks escaping from flooding and all the misery involved.

Our street organised a socially distanced meet-and-greet at 5pm, with the specific aim of chapping the doors and windows of those who live alone, so they knew that they were included in the day, even though no one could go into their home. It was a great success even though we all know that it will be considerably more difficult to do this from tomorrow as we go into tier 4 (Scotland). It helped us face it cheerfully - much needed.
So I give you all the gift of a generous share of our cheerfulness, as much as you need for as long as you wish.
