I thought that we had already reached the 1000 messages. Maybe we haven't. Anyway...for when we do, here's the new extension. I'm making it warm and cosy and there are date slices to be enjoyed. Rory has claimed his corner of the sofa. 
Happy Christmas to all you lovely Gransnetters and your families.
Phoenix did a thank you thread but I'd like to add my thanks to each and every person who posts GN for offering so much love, fun, support and even the occasional bit of awkwardness to the rest of us. We are great - long may it last.

...and to you and yours, Liz
Best wishes to everyone for a peaceful, relaxing Christmas and a Happy, healthy New Year 
Tiny Tim comes to mind "God bless us - every one". Good health and good cheer to us all and A Very Happy Christmas!
Thank you for your gracious hospitality soop and McSporran and a special stroke or two for Rory.
I second that, Lona...2013 was a good year for introducing new Granspals. Thank you and my warmest good wishes to each and every one of you lovely lot. No doubt we shall pop in and out of the kitchen during the next few days. I am leaving a huge bowl of mulled wine and a few special bite-size nibbles from M&S.
Take good care of yourselves. Keep safe and keep warm.
Happy good wishes to all my friends on here, I hope we all have merry moments, especially dear soop and McSporran of course, not to forget Rory!
Lots of us have had ups and downs this year, but wonderful Gransnetters have got us through
Special Christmas wishes for all Gransnetters.
Warm wishes from me, too. Have a lovely, peaceful Christmas, everyone. I'll see some of you on here tomorrow when it starts to quieten down and my family have left. Six adults, five children for Christmas dinner. Mayhem, but I'm lucky.
Very warm wishes to all for a calm and contented Christmas. I really hope I'll be able to meet some of you next year.
Just popped in to wish everyone a lovely Christmas and leave this bottle of blackberry brandy. It's over a year old now (I secreted a couple of bottles at the back of our wine cupboard - aka pantry) so may seem a bit syrupy - but it slides down a treat and warms the cockles of your heart. We're off to DD2 - the first time we've been Christmas cooked for - DH is getting quite emotional about it.
Have a good one.
Thank you dear baubles
Wishing all you lovely people a happy time over the next few days.
To everyone and especially to those of you I have met and become closer to, thank you for your friendship, sliánte mhaith
Stay safe & warm everyone
Lona dear, I shall pull out the chaise longue [said in an upper-crust voice] especially for you. The Highland tartan blanket has been washed and aired. Doze away.
jingle I won't mention that you refer to Rory as a mere moggy...he's awfully sensitive. He has ideas well above his station. 
Icy ok...I'll settle for a treble mulberry vodka instead. After all, it is the season of good cheer. Getting better. Stuffing knocked out of me. In good spirits. McSporran lovely as ever.
Gally I love your wacky sense of humour. You are a star. Awfully blustery in Kintyre. Ferry cancelled. Huge sea. Dramatic to view through the window. Try to have fun. You deserve it.

Just popped in for a medicinal glug of something in the quiet of the Kitchen while you are all sleeping. Will sit and read through all your recent posts while taking time out from a shrieking daughter, 6 gc's, a hungover (very) son in law and 2 teenage step grandsons. Other DD and her husband have taken off for 24 hours and left me to it - I think a recovery holiday on my return to the UK will definitely be on the cards. 
It is Christmas Eve here, and true to form, no food has been ordered, never mind delivered, presents still have to be bought and the tree which was put up 2 weeks ago is looking decidedly droopy, the temperature having been low 30's all week. As it's almost The Day, the weather has turned and today is now a decidedly chilly and breezy 20 degrees. But, I must not grumble when reading of the atrocious weather you are all suffering. I hope every one is coping with the storm's after effects and you all have a very happy and merry Christmas Day and special greetings to dear soop and McSporran
They all seemed to enjoy the mulled cider and OH said it was very good. Personally I thought it was like cough mixture but then I am not keen on mulled anything. Decided not to force you to finish it off as it didn't seem fair
gaga, of course an elastic band ball counts! It's the thought...
Please be clear, temarikai is not my site, but that of really clever
Soop You really have done a miracle with Rory to get him snuggling into bed with you both. 
Absolutely lovely bags! You are very clever finding - and making the temarikai. I'd never heard of them but I did used to make a ball out of rubber bands when I was working and once inherited quite a large and colourful one from a post room friend who was retiring! Does that count?
Smoked salmon replenished and in the fridge soop plus a wee bit of chicken for Rory.
soop I love your posts about that moggy.
Keep warm and try to build up your appetite. (bossy boots - soz)
They look devine !
Will have to search them out after the Christmas period !
Thanks !
