Still in my dressing gown at 11.30,but….

Happy Christmas Eve Witzend. 🎄

Me too! But I've taught two online lessons. I disguised the dressing gown with a carefully arranged scarf.

Happy Christmas to you Witzend and everyone.
May you all enjoy it and have peace and happiness in the New Year.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all GN's.

This morning I was up showered and dressed by 8:30. Ginger shortbread made and topped with ginger fudge icing. DGD says it isn't Christmas without Granny's ginger shortbread. Cat litter tray cleaned and cat fed. He's my DD's cat, but he keeps wandering away and trying to move in with an elderly lady who doesn't want him. He's not happy that I'm keeping him inside, but he's having to put up with the situation. DH doesn't like cats! I digress.
Made lunch and after my cup of tea I have pavlovas to make. Then I must prepare the red cabbage ready for the Christmas feast.
I might manage a sit down after that.

Merry Christmas o all my Gransnet friends.🎄🎉🎁

Merry Christmas to all on Gransnet.

And a big thank you to you all for a year of thought - provoking posts, hilarious posts and a good (?) reason to sit down with a cup of tea.

Mini Moon, if you have time (!) I would love the recipe for your ginger shortbread, my family would love it. Happy Christmas everyone.

I’ve just made a homemade batter for Yorkshire puds tomorrow. God knows why- -never had Yorkshire puds with Christmas dinner before- -. Inspired by “Jilly” on radio 2!

Merry Christmas everyone. 🎄🍗🎁🥂⛄️

I am back in my dressing gown having had a bath before getting ready to go out tonight.

Thanks to all the nice people on GN for keeping me company almost every day of the year.
Happy Christmas to everyone, and for those who are ill or unhappy I send heartfelt wishes for better times ahead.

A normal day for me - no pressies, cards or food prep to do - I've given it all up - bliss! I'm to be collected in the morning and I'll enjoy the day as a guest, at last!

Aww I so wish there was a ‘like’ button on here!
Wishing you all Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year 🥂🍾 Here’s hoping that 2023 will be a good year for us all xx

Happy Christmas Eve Witzend. You (and a few other GNs) have been my inspiration for the last few days. I have finally attempted to crochet something wearable. I've undone it twice but have finally got the hang of what I am doing and there's some promise of it actually turning into a beanie. At some point over the next two days 🤣 So thank you all.

Witzend, I’ve just enjoyed carols from kings. What a joy.
Ham cooked. Stuffings made/. Veg all allegedly ready at adult children’s homes. They went home an hour ago along with 4 over excited under 8 year olds. It’s my first Christmas without mr I am - he was usually my veg peeler. My control freakery is struggling with waiting till 12 noon when the adult children arrive with pots of potato, carrots neeps, sprouts etc. I have a particular way of chopping and sizing veg. And breathe

I hope you have a lovely day, Iam. I know it will be difficult, but with your family around you it will still be lovely.

Merry Christmas to all on Gransnet, and here's to a peaceful 2023

Thank you Doodledog. Turkey stuffed and in the oven. I’m about to take the dogs out

Happy Christmas to everyone and thanks for the gransnet support

🌲Merry Christmas 🌲 to all Gnetters. 🥂

A tough one for you Iam. Having family around will keep you busy to help you through the day plus, you have us lot, always here when you need us. x
