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?

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

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.

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"

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!
