Right. Who's coming round for Christmas and what are you bringing?

[CaulkheadUpNorth]

I usually do Christmas by myself, and that is fine. However I've just read the "Christmas recipes" bit of a Sunday paper and want to cook everything.

So who wants to come and what will you bring?

Prunes wrapped in bacon. DH's special trifle.

Ooh I like it.

I'm there! I'm bringing The Best Mince Pies In The World Ever.

Can you bring a lot. I luffs mince pies.
We'll have hazelnut and blueberry loaf if that's ok. It looks wonderful.

Count me in.
I'll bring smoked salmon and prosecco.

Excellent. This is sounding great.

Me. I'm bringing my children and picking them up again on boxing day afternoon. Thanks for the offer

I'll see you the children juniper
And raise you the mils dog [said poker style]

I will leave some pork and cranberry stuffing (generous)

Juniper - only if they are very good at sleeping and washing up.

I'll bring some lovely pate and glare at you while you eat it because bastard pregnant people can't have delicious pate

Ooh, brie and cranberry parcels, I think. But if I'm feeling evil, sprouts.

I wouldn't trust the 22mth old with the washing up but they do both sleep ok are you ok with a 4yr old creeping into bed at 3am?

Just feed 'em peanut butter sandwiches and they will be fine.

I love sprouts.

Maybe the 22month old and the dog can entertain each other?

I love sprouts, but am a bit iffy about dogs.

Dog very used to kids...could even be used as part babysitter?
I'll also bring some bacon and lentil soup, as long as I get some sprouts!

Ok, well let's say no to small children and pets currently. Next door is up for sale though so you are welcome to bring them and let them have fun there instead.

What about boardgames?

The cheesy star biscuits from Nigella's 'How To Eat'. I do them every Xmas.

Wine. And lots of it!

I've got carcassone, settlers and escape from Atlantis. Plus all the ones like monopoly and cluedo. Please bring others. And wine. Especially mulled wine.

I only play monopoly if I'm allowed to be the Scottie dog. I am partial to a bit of Connect Four.

I'll bring twister for later blackberry vodka, fudge vodka, skittles vodka and a bottle of lemonade.

And Potentially a first aid kit

I think we will need some more food to soak up all the wine and vodka.
