🎶 🎉🎄 Time for some fun.🎄🎈
What will you bring to the party?
Something savoury, something sweet, your favourite tipple and a small Secret Santa gift.
Merry Christmas

Huge Ackman?
Isn't he Australian?

And there's me thinking this was to be a refined bash🤦‍♀️

Hey up!
We have some very refined Aussies on here 😂

As I haven’t worn heels for years, I’ll need a hand, so I’ll have two escorts - Josh Groban who can hold a tune and David Ginola, ex footballer and now wine producer. He can just read me the telephone directory while I stare at him!

Allira Sat 13-Dec-25 20:24:20

David Ginola, ex footballer and now wine producer. He can just read me the telephone directory while I stare at him!

Hope he brings lots of sample bottles!

A LARGE packet of cheese and onion crisps. A thick rug and hot water bottle in case the party goes on a bit. Oh and a bottle of Bacardi, hic hic.

LauraNorderr Sat 13-Dec-25 21:21:18

That rug will be handy NanKate, this is just night one of a week long party 🎉
I’m sure Aga has knitted some llama wool rugs. Whiffy but warm.

Anyone arriving in style, the helipad has been cleared in readiness. Sadly it’s several miles from the Argy so bring your comfy shoes and carry the Jimmy Choos.

Can I come if I bring some home made Scottish tablet?

No, we don’t have wifi 🤭

Why must we have llamas at our party? They’ve gone out of fashion, it’s all unicorns and giraffes now you know.Is there going to be fireworks?💥

I wondered that, too.
I've heard llamas mentioned on several occasions, but they must be before my time - literally on GN!

MartavTaurus Sun 14-Dec-25 09:20:22

Perhaps we could have snakes, spiders and lizards, like some children have to hold at their parties? 🐍 🕷

Samsara1 Sun 14-Dec-25 10:07:02

I just had a parcel of treats from Carluccio's I'll bring the Cantucci.

Sounds good tho I have no clue what it is🤭

Oreo Sun 14-Dec-25 10:27:35

Some sort of animal?😁

Chocolatelovinggran Sun 14-Dec-25 10:52:25

Thank you Samsara, I don't mind if I do.
NanKate's blanket will be useful for FGT as she has forgotten to put on her vest, silly girl.

boheminan Sun 14-Dec-25 11:12:48

Is Cantucci something to do with fried chicken?

LauraNorderr Sun 14-Dec-25 13:08:08

Llamas were ordered in error when a patron of the ArgyBargy wanted a sparkly outfit and ordered gold lame ( I don’t know how to put an acute accent over the e but you get the drift.
The first llamas arrived sprayed with gold sparkles and the rest as they say is history.

LauraNorderr Sun 14-Dec-25 13:10:58

MartavTaurus if we have to hold spiders and snakes then yes Oreo there are bound to be fireworks.

Scribbles Sun 14-Dec-25 14:03:16

If there are snakes and spiders, I won't be coming.

MartavTaurus Sun 14-Dec-25 14:11:23

Thank you for explaining LauraNorder.

The furniture removers delivered all our possessions yesterday, mostof it boxes of books. I will bring several boxes of books as a present for everyone and plenty of mulled wine to drink whileyou read them curled up in front of a fire.

kittylester Sun 14-Dec-25 16:00:44

Can I bring Geoffrey? He may not be a llama but he is quite well behaved.

Allira Sun 14-Dec-25 16:05:37

Depends.

Will he scoff all the chocolates and drink all the mulled wine?

If so, leave him at home! 🎄

Oh Laura my English slipped up. Wait a minute, it doesn't matter, I am not English. I came to this foreign country from Scotland for a year but it has been a long one, around 45 of them.

I will still come, wanting to eat fish and chips, wearing my night attire. Is that any better?
