I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and hope everyone has a good happy and healthy new year.

Hugs to anyone feeling under the weather or a bit sad today.

Merry Christmas all.

First for me this year. I am cooking my first full Christmas dinner. DH is in bed with what may be chicken pox! Was veggie for 21 years so I've never cooked a roast dinner before...

LOL there's a pizza in the freezer if we're desperate!

Glad

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE :wave:

Merry Christmas to all, it is very strange here with my LO at the Dad in a foreign country. We had a stilted chat to her this morning but it only made me feel worse. I hope that it did not upset her.

Going to DD1 for dinner in a few mins which will be nice. She has even said we can take our 3 dogs and stay over if we want.

Hugs to all who are missing someone.

A very happy Christmas to all.
Love, prayers and kind thoughts to everyone that has suffered a loss, had illness visit or had any worries or concerns whatsoever this year.
I am thinking of you.

Merry Christmas everyone.

We had a wonderfull day y/day, one of the best. After pressie opening and dinner DGD played the piano whilst DD1, DD2 and SiL 2b sang Carols to DH and me, the flickering fire, xmas lights and all the candles gave off a lovely festive light.
I felt quite emotional, and I'm sure I saw a tear in DH's eye, he said it was due to his cold.

We have loads of veg left over so only turkey and roasties to do.
Our local is open at lunchtime, we pop down for an hour and meet friends and neighbours, we all get dressed up in our finest.

This evening we are going to friends for drinks before a crowd of us go Carol singing at three sheltered housing units for the elderly. We do it every year, the wardens tell them we are coming as some of them are a bit worried about opening their doors. We get dressed up in victorian clothes and take baskets of goodies to give out, one of the group takes his violin, another has a flute. We all carry lanterns on poles, a bit like the scene off a Quality Street tin.
I love seeing their faces and it makes our Christmas, as some of them don't see anyone over the festive season.
Afterwards we are all coming back here for mulled wine, mince pies etc.

So that's my next job, making some more pies as quite a few went missing y/day. DH is in charge of making the mulled wine.

Well, I do hope everyone is having a stress free and happy day.

I'd like to thank each and everone of my Dear friends here for all of the kindness and support I have received throughout this year and look forward to happier times in the coming one.
