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?

He had nobody to go with!

What did Adam say on 24th December?
It's Christmas, Eve.

(OK, I know one's Old Testament and one's New, but it's a magical season)

I can identify with this one ?

My Grandad always said to me that when one door closes another always opens.
He was a rubbish cabinet maker.

What goes “oh oh oh?” Santa walking backwards!

Daddima Tue 15-Dec-20 17:11:33

They may not get a big crowd!

Why are Christmas trees so bad at knitting? They have too many needles!

Situpstraight2 Tue 15-Dec-20 16:01:53

Don’t drink and wrap Christmas presents.

Oh and if anyone gets a TV remote from me for Christmas , I’m going to need that back.

Santatizer!

(sorry the way this year has been)

Molly10 Tue 15-Dec-20 14:53:23

He sends them to an Elf farm.

A rude one, so don’t read if easily offended and it’s only vaguely Christmassy.

Guy walks into a bar on Christmas Eve, with 2 gifts, gets talking to the barman and tells him that he’s dating a twin and there is a gift for each of them.

Wow, says the barman how do you tell them apart.

Well, says the guy, Lucy wears blue nail varnish.

And Bob has a D**k.

Literally laughed myself off my seat with this one! The kind of madass inanity is fabulous. Thanks Situpstraight2!

Who’s Rudolph’s favourite pop star? Beyon-sleigh!

LindaKnits Tue 15-Dec-20 11:56:18

Why was the snowman rummaging through the box of carrots?

Because he wanted to pick his nose!

Happy Christmas to you all.
Found this one that made me laugh -
Three men die in a car accident on Christmas Eve. They all find themselves at the Pearly Gates waiting to enter heaven. On entering they must present something relating to or associated with Christmas. The first man searches his pocket, and finds some mistletoe, so he is allowed in. The second man presents a cracker, so he is also allowed in. The third man pulls out a pair of stockings. Confused at this last gesture, St Peter asks, 'How do these represent Christmas?' Answer: 'They're Carol's.'

Two m.p's sat in house of commons bar (sorry, canteen!) - one says "do you know any jokes?" Other replies "Boris and cummings" (Both cant stop laughing!)??

Here's my favourite this year.

We have a winner!

What’s the difference between St George and Santa? One slays a dragon and the other drags a sleigh.
Ta boom!

gillyknits Tue 15-Dec-20 10:04:41

I liked this one!

A man went into an optician’s and said, “When I look at shops they all seem in darkness. “ And the optician said, “You must have 2020 vision.”
