To ask you to help me with my impromptu “Christmas Party”

[Letthenamesbegin]

So dh is at his works do tonight - and I’m feeling like I’m missing out as I work by myself and won’t be going to any work do’s this year (yes I know they’re some peoples idea of hell but I’ve always enjoyed them.

So am thinking of cracking out some mince pies, ordering some type of food and watching something Christmassy.

While I’m setting up my Netflix list and preparing to shop... any suggestions (food, tv or drinks based).

Watch Elf
Eat mince pies
Drink baileys & fizz
Order a takeaway

Put some tinsel round your neck and sing band aid at the top of your voice

Mince pies
Miracle on 34th street
Pizza
Baileys/champs/wine/anything with alcohol.

Christmas chronicles if you haven't watched that already, and for me love actually but I know some people hate it. Id order chinese in with cider or wine

Watch -Home alone
Eat (this will be long )
Mince pies
Takeaway curry
Wine
Chocolates
Tea and biscuits
Have a fab time 🎄

Christmas Chronicles - I loved this film (helps that I really fancy Kurt Russell), some wine/baileys. Mince pies. Treeslets or twiglets. Some bit of Wham's Last Christmas while you're prepping the snacks. Some bizarre combination of food you wouldn't normally eat but has a festive decoration on the box so you've bought I anyway. Erm. Elasticated trousers.
Oh, and don't forget to text telling everyone how much you love them once you've finished the wine.

@goodmythical I love Love Actually too - and was just looking at the Christmas chronicles too!

Thanks for the music suggestions - it hadn’t even occurred to me!

There are tons of festive films on Netflix but the best thing on there by far is the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special!

@pasta I’m saving Gavin and Stacey for over Christmas... I rewatch it every year. I really do miss good Christmas specials that everyone looks forward to

What about the royale family Christmas? A couple of them are on Netflix, Denise trying to host Xmas day makes me laugh

Great idea! DH is working and I'm shattered so DC and I are watching the Grinch whilst munching on oven food. Will have a baileys once the boys are in bed, and a generous slice of Yule log!

I’m now actually considering a cheeseboard, red wine and mince pies (with maybe some random nibbles).
