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?

Forgot to say,
Flopsy is on the left.
To all the children’s entertainers, male and female who can no longer go into hospitals, old people’s homes,
factories, birthday, and family celebrations, schools, hotel celebrations and other celebrations at Christmas to bring laughter and enjoyment to others during this Christmas, my heart and sympathy goes out to you.
My heart goes out to you.

Merry Christmas everyone.
I hope you have all had a good day. I am really fortunate that my husband cooked a wonderful Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. The best is yet to come tomorrow cold turkey -brilliant.
Here's hoping that the vaccine comes soon and we can return to a more normal way of life in 2021.

A : Fake pews.”

Ho hum. Well, at least it's sort of topical! Hope everyone has enjoyed their Xmas festivities. Here's to 2021 - surely a MUCH better year in every possible way.

Hope you all had enjoyed Christmas. At this time of year I always like to look forward to holidays, but who knows when we will be able to plan anything. Meantime, I am dreaming of a return to Barra, where the plane from Glasgow lands on the beach. The islands are calling me.

We made our own crackers again this year, it's becoming a tradition. So we search out the best (or worst) jokes. This years best were:
(Best according to our 4 year old grandson...)
What knickers do clouds wear?
Thunderpants!

(Best according to the son in law)
What do you call a sheep wearing a swimsuit in a sports car?
A Lamb bikini!
