The Gransnet virtual Christmas party 2023

I've brought the Hoover and bin bags, I think the party is over ?
Thank you, Anniegransnet and all who contributed, hope to see you all again next Christmas!

Hope everyone has had a lovely time today. Here's what is left of the sloe gin if anyone fancies a glass. Actually I only had one glass, topped up with lemonade. Do we lose our taste for booze as we get older? A quiet day today for us, before tomorrow's mayhem when DS2 and family descend.

Off over ti my dad's, but fingers crossed will drop in later with my Inflatable friend I used to have two but one disappeared after the last virtual gransnet party[ hmm]

Wishing everyone all the best for Christmas. 🎄🎄

Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas 🎄 🎅🏻 🥂

Special thoughts to those Gransnetters who have an empty chair at the Christmas table this year 💐

🎄🥳🎁💐🙏
Happy Christmas everyone

What's the difference between a snowman and snowwoman?
Oh No! just realised this is too rude!! I'll leave it to you to figure out.

Coming late ( or early depending how you look at it) to the party but I'm bringing cheese footballs
Still laughing ( politely ) at the duck joke and trying to work it out ....
What did one snowman say to the other snowman?
Can you smell carrots?

Been awake for two hours now, different bed/noises.

My absolute favourite joke, which no one seems to get (there is nothing to get, that’s the joke) is: what’s the difference between a duck? One of its legs is both the same.
Terrible isn’t it? It makes me crease up every time I hear/say it!

Am wide awake. It's going to be a long day. Time for coffee, fresh orange juice and croissants? I think so.

It's Christmas Day. Happy Christmas to everyone reading this.

Happy Christmas everyone.
I'll call in to the party tomorrow and bring my bottle of homemade sloe gin.
Night night x

When's the music starting? I fancy a bit rock music, some jazz, some blues and definitely music to dance along. I'm dressed up with brandy and Babycham in one hand and tablet in another. Not many people arrived yet buy hey ho all turkey is prepared, sprouts carrots etc so I can spare a few hours here

Aww, sorry to hear that, Aveline, I hope the wee family recovers quickly and can celebrate Christmas later.

Tillytrotter, your canapés look scrumptious, I much prefer savoury to sweet, but I am tempted by Marydoll's tablet.

We are away visiting our AC and DGC tomorrow, so I will wish all our party goers the best Christmas possible, cheers!🥂 🎅

Well I'm in unexpectedly. Poor DD and DSiL and both DGSs have a horrible bug. Very painful coughing and just wanting/needing to sleep all day. Hence Christmas is cancelled . It's the right thing to do though. I feel so sorry for them. Oh well will have to make do with our house full of snacks and treats.

Joke..... What do Santa's reindeers get for lunch on Christmas Eve?
Answer. Half an hour !!

I’ve been practicing with BBC recipe “potato cake with smoked salmon+cream cheese canapés” and am leaving a tray here on the side.
They’re a bit of a pfaff to make (probably just buy blini’s and load them up next time) but they are more’ish.
Try for yourselves …….

Dottydots is that the famous Chanel wee black dress if so please post a photo

Marydoll tablet for me please with a little rum and raisin fudge and a drop of Prosecco 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I am only coming to the party if Colin is going to be there ..... or Mr Firth to you lot. He and I are great friends after I wrote him a letter saying how much I loved him as Mr Darcy and he sent me a signed photo!
Impressive eh?

When a teenager, my date would often drive me an hour away from home close to Southend. On arrival at a pub they would ask reluctantly what I would like and I said half a lager. When my dad heard about this he told me to ask for brandy and baby Cham. Not a great idea as made me sick.

Is the party still going on. With all the talk of Babycham there wil have to be cheese cubes and pineapple on cocktail sticks
How many should I bring ❓

If George Clooney is going to be there, I shall leave.

Well, if George Clooney is going to be there, I must dig out my black dress with the plunging neckline. He won't be able to resist me.
