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 New Year to everyone. I don't think I've ever been so glad to see out an old year and see in a new one. This is the first time my eldest 2 sons haven't been able to come home for Christmas, so we're planning to have a belated Christmas whenever we've had our vaccines!

There was the dyslexic satanist who sold his soul to Santa!

Elrel Tue 29-Dec-20 13:39:41

Muscle Sprout!

From the Sprout loo roll in my Christmas stocking!

Wishing everyone a much more normal 2021.

Never thought I would get through Christmas but I did thanks to talks through the window with friends and family.

Hang on in there as Captains Tom says "things will get better"

He was searching for some holiday spirit ??

Jess9887 Wed 30-Dec-20 21:13:49

Why did no one bid for Rudolph and Blitzen on eBay? .........Because they were two deer!

Compermo Wed 30-Dec-20 21:59:07

The Christmas jumper my kids bought me kept picking up static electricity, so I took it back and exchanged for another one - free of charge.

joannec1234 Thu 31-Dec-20 06:44:35

Why was the snowman rummaging in the bag of carrots?

He was picking his nose!

lauragrtinytalk Thu 31-Dec-20 08:43:02

Why can't Boris Johnson make his Christmas cake until the last minute? He doesn't know how many tiers it should have.

noynoyavery Thu 31-Dec-20 08:46:42

Hope you all had as lovely a day as can be expected.
Our Christmas cracker joke is "What do you call to underwear thieves? A pair of Knickers!"

Happy New Year

Happy New Year, everyone.

May it turn into a healthy one soon!

Pittcity Thu 31-Dec-20 10:57:34

Instead of a kiss on New Year's Eve, Boris is recommending you simply gaze at your beloved and knowingly nod. ??

sharkgirl Thu 31-Dec-20 11:05:48

What's small, green and goes up and down? A brussell sprout stuck in a lift

Candelle Thu 31-Dec-20 11:25:49

I am hopeless with jokes (I do enjoy reading them) but just wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year.

Let us hope that 2021 is a vast improvement on this year....in many many ways.

Perhaps this time next year the horror will be gently fading.... as we hug our families at will.

vickya Thu 31-Dec-20 11:30:40

I have enjoyed the jokes very much, thank you. I liked the Boris and cake tier one especially.
Happy New Year, grandmas and grandpas and I hope we all get to see more of or some of grandchildren in 2021.

dahlia08 Thu 31-Dec-20 11:33:54

I would love to wish everyone a happy New a Year 2021 and hope to have something good to look forward to. It will take some time to have normality, we can only hope. Wish everyone a healthy and happy time ahead. x
