Merry Christmas to you all. Tier 3 here and we are currently having our traditional Christmas picnic lunch on a river bank. (Well, to be more precise parked up on the river bank as I'm not that hardy.) Someone's Labrador has just pressed her muzzle against the window hoping for leftovers. Hope you are all having an equally fab day.

Snow is falling
all around me
Children playing
having fun
It's the season
love and understanding
Xxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx !

Hope you are all having a lovely day !
DH and I have just had our first Christmas dinner just the two of us since we got married 26 years ago! DS and his GF will be joining us this evening. 🙂🎄⭐️💕

Merry Xmas everyone by Shakin Shiny Stevens!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/12/2020 18:18

Hope everyone has enjoyed the day so far 🎅🎄. Nice and relaxed one here, still snow on the ground so looks Christmassy ☃️

Feel the pressure
Your back's against the wall
Love is gaining on you
You're just about to fall
If you're afraid to love
Afraid to take a chance
You better hide your feelings
Get out while you can

I dream of a Christmas at home
Where the Milky Way strikes its bridge
over quiet forests and red lodges

Is the Swedish lyrics I posted earlier, it's a record I had at home when I was a child.

Are you Swedish Perdita?

Honeyroar · 25/12/2020 19:05

We are testing dad’s gin and tonic after eights. They’re ok. Not vastly different- got a slight lemony tang as well as mint.

AJumpedUpChristmasElf · 25/12/2020 19:07

Happy Christmas everyone - hope you have all had a lovely day.

One of my gifts was a bluetooth speaker so I can now blast out tunes anywhere in the house - DH is thrilled Grin

FlouncingBabooshka · 25/12/2020 19:23

Merry Christmas everyone. Xmas Smile

Here are a some lyrics from a song that could almost have applied to me, or @CrepuscularCritter or @WhipperSnapperSteve

Getting groovy after Hallowe'en
Mid-November, got back on the scene
I'm so glad that I just got my pay!

perditasugarplum · 25/12/2020 19:24

@Honeyroar

Are you Swedish Perdita?
No but my Dad worked there a lot.

Would that be a certain Saint Etienne song I can't stand? Grin
