    @Suffolk_lass - I'm highly amused that you are having cocktails accompanied by nibbles rather than nibbles with their accompanying cocktails! (Yes I have an odd sense of humour)  You really are the Hostess with the mostest 🍷🍸🍹🧀🥟

    Went for a work wine and cheese the other week as a charity fund-raiser and I was more about the cheese and chutneys than the actual wine (or in my case cocktails) - lol - I now know that I like my brie unaged (the cheap stuff) & not the best brie that wafts it's scent across the room! - and not blue in it's natural state, but only cooked.

    You're very kind giving all your people a Christmas box. I have never done that, although I do take every opportunity to thank the postman, bin man, etc, when I see them. I rarely see our milkman as he clinks up our drive in the early hours, so out of our household, he probably only knows Ash!
