The Gransnet virtual Christmas party 2023

And look, ladies, I've found the chocolate cocktails! 🍹 I've a few ( dozen) boxes, so help yourselves!

Only 20 bottles of Baileys there now, sorree!

May I take charge of balloons please? 2 round and 1 slightly bent long one in each corner

Another Christmas birthday here ( couple of days away anyway). I’ll bring a Pav, straight from Australia and a nice bottle of Yarra Valley chardy from down the road.

Why do you never see Santa in a public hospital ?

Private elf cover !

I've seen Santa's elves in public hospitals. They work for the National Elf Service

Scrolling through the papers on the iPad yesterday I saw a joke,
A little boy asking a store Santa ‘so who decides who’s naughty or nice, is it you or Gary Linekar?’ 😂

Do long slightly bent balloons have corners?🤪

Guilty!
I tried to straighten a slightly bent long balloon and it went POP 💥

Just like the champagne cork, hey? I think I need another drink, anything left ?

I've ordered helium balloons to be delivered on Christmas Eve. We can hang on to the strings and do a Mary Poppins.

Michael Buble has confirmed he is happy to croon to us as he hands out mince pies, George Clooney is good to go for coffees but Aiden Turner is still sulking because " no one said HOLLY & IVY and I'v got all this HAY in!"

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.

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

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 ❓

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.

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?

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

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

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 …….

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

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.

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!🥂 🎅

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
