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 EVERYONE! I am bringing some German stollen to the party and a bottle of Baileys. Hope 2021 is a much better and healthier year for us all. Enjoy your day!!

Giggling at these! I’m in isolation over Christmas so everything cheery helps ?

Hello. I’m a lurker, too shy to join in usually but I would like,to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a much better New Year. Unfortunately I have become disabled recently and my husband is cooking the Christmas dinner. He does not enjoy cooking so I think it is so brave of him to give it a go so that we can have a delicious meal. He can be extremely irritating at times when he doesn’t want to take advice but he is doing his best. So I am looking forward to the meal and to seeing our family in the New Year.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE and thank you Gransnet for keeping me sane !

Hope you don't mind but I've just popped in to say Merry Christmas to all Gransnetters. Have a lovely day whether you are with friends and family or doing it solo. Let's hope next year is a better one for us all tchsmile wine flowers

A very happy Christmas to all. My lovely West Indian partner is going to do a wonderful traditional Christmas dinner, the Turkey is always lovely and succulent, and he marinades it with the spices he has.
He also makes a lovely Sorrell that is very strong with ginger and spices, it's a taste all of it's own.
I will not see my Grandchildren over Christmas which I feel sad about, but realise alot of us are in the same boat, thank goodness for technology.
My best wishes to you all.

A happy and healthy Christmas to you all. A strange Christmas this year, but perhaps no better time to tell family and friends how much they are loved, and thought of, when you send Christmas Greetings.

Happy Christmas to every gransnetter - tin of biscuits nearly gone already, how did that happen. Topical joke - how do the elfs clean santa's sleigh - they use santa-tiser

Madwoman11 Fri 25-Dec-20 10:33:21

A very Happy Christmas my virtual friends ?. If anyone is feeling lonely feel free to pm me for a natter and some Christmas cheer ?

Crank up the Christmas music everyone and kick off your shoes for a festive dance - go on it will make you feel 16 again!

Love and best wishes to you all ?

A very Merry Christmas to you all!
Pigs in blankets are my one 'indispensable' Christmas dinner thing, so that's what I'm bringing to the party!

Loving all the corny jokes; better than any cracker. Just wanted to wish everyone, especially those who are missing friends and family, a much better 2021

Want to wish everyone on Gransnet a
BLESSED CHRISTMAS

I hope you all find something to be grateful for today, even if it is different from other years. It will make us more appreciative of the years we had and the years that will come.

How did the cheese artist paint his wife?

He Double Gloucester!
I was given a cheese advent calendar so I have 24 to share, but I like that one best!

SanS2 Fri 25-Dec-20 09:34:36

Wishing you all a white Christmas - if you run out of the white one, I have plenty supply of the red! And let's all be naughty this Christmas and save Santa the trip. Happy Christmas everyone!
