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?

My grandson's favourite joke is,

What's the difference between snowmen and snowwomen?

Snowballs ⛄

OK, I need to vent, people are so ungrateful! I will never help anyone again, EVER! Either I'm too kind-hearted, too stupid or too gullible. Because it was so cold yesterday, and out of the kindness of my heart, I took a homeless man into my home. I felt so sorry for him, poor thing was frozen with cold. I let him stay in my sitting room overnight. This morning he had vanished, without even saying thank you! The last straw? I realised he had peed all over the living room floor! That's the thanks I get for being kind. I'm warning my friends & family to watch out for him. He's heavy set, 2 black eyes, orange pointy nose, and wearing nothing but a scarf and a battered old hat. Don't invite him into your homes. He made a huge puddle on our floor, and left us with a scruffy old scarf and hat that are not even fit to be given to charity. Be warned!

2021
When Corona is a beer again
When Donald is only a duck
When tiers sit on a cake
And when bubbles only exist in champagne

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Happy New Year to all Gransnetters. Hope everyone is keeping it together and i hope better times are ahead for everyone.
My thoughts are with anyone who has lost loved ones this year.
I passed the funeral of a 16 year old boy today - killed in a hit and run. What a way for a family to end their year.
I'm counting my blessings tonight and i am lucky enough to have many.
Cursing the fireworks though!
Happy New Year!

Looking out of the window in Moscow, Rudolph and his wife were having an argument about whether it was raining or not, but Rudolph won the argument with 'Rudolph the Red knows rain, deer!'

Happy New Year everyone, and remember...

If you make a New Year’s resolution to eat a healthy diet, and you keep it, you won’t actually live longer, but it will seem longer ;)

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

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.

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.

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

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

grandtanteJE65 Thu 31-Dec-20 10:42:56

Happy New Year, everyone.

May it turn into a healthy one soon!
