This is a lighthearted thread for a bit of fun.
I'd love to know who you would invite and why.
I'll start. I'd invite the Dalai Lama because I'm sure he would put everything that stresses me out into perspective. Smile

Daniel Ricciardo! Just cause his smile alone would spread loads of festive cheer! And I can perve on him

My grandad aswell he was always the most festive

savagebaggagemaster · 24/12/2021 11:45

My granddad definitely. He died was I was pregnant with my DD (4) and they are so alike it's crazy.

They'd probably sit at the table messing about all the way through. He was the life of the party

SandrasAnnoyingFriend · 24/12/2021 12:02

Toto Wolff and Christian Horner - it would be hilariously entertaining.

Cornishqween · 24/12/2021 12:04

JK Rowling - I adore her and just know we could sit and listen to her talk for hours. Oh and my grandparents obvs

LavenderAskew · 24/12/2021 12:08

In a sadness tinged one, my grandparents.

Less sad,, a specific set of friends we don't see that often. -it would be such fun. We general spend our time crying with laughter when we see each other and our children get along each time they meet. Couldnt happen though as they all are with their families and parents (as am i!!).

On family I'd love attebd a spontaneous met up - all prepared by an outside source - with my extended family. I do live seeing them but not if something has to be planned the anx in the run is too much and at least one will have gone insane feeling over responsibility for it all

Bob Mortimer - what a character!
