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?

I'll bring a kilkner jar of Damson gin. For fancy company I might have decanted it into a bottle, but I feel this calls for the while jar.

Ah I flipping love damson gin. You didn't sell it at a farmers market recently did you? I bought some and it was amazing.

Bags I sit next to runaway reindeer
Now there's a sentence I never expected to type!

FrantasticO - it can be your job to make the seating plan and table names if you like...

So caulk you're still saying bring the kids n dogs...but to next doors party!

More the children and the dog will be really happy next door entertaining themselves. I'm not organising a separate party for them though!

Ooh a job!
Think I might be up for a that.
Taste tester might be my role!

I can bring a mustard and brown sugar glazed ham joint. It's delish!
Anyone got some beef? Luffs me a roast beef sandwich Christmas night!!!

Ah wow that sounds amazing.
Yes beef. We need beef.

champagne and home made mince pies :)

And I am prepared to dress up as Mother Christmas

My special stuffing and........my mastery of charades. I'd bring my singing ability and repertoire of songs but would actually like to stay. (Sad face)

My mil makes cracking roast beef.

I do not. But I can bring some lovely dauphinois potatoes and I'm a whizz with pork loin steaks too if I do say so myself

I have the Have I Got News For You board game. No one will play with me here

I can offer a very nice bottle of brandy for after dinner drinks, a cheeseboard, and a trough of my special homemade chilli for Boxing Day tea when everyone's bored shitless of leftover Christmas food.

And I shall bring my hangover with me, as that's customary for me on Christmas morning!

This is sounding wonderful. Can someone whip up some crossiants for breakfast?

Excellent frantastico I'll need someone to hold me up (and im not ALWAYS a runaway reindeer, most of the time I'm an improbable girl

I will bring 4 baked camambert mmmmm

I'll bring black bags for clearing up and some alka seltzer, sounds like we might need both:)

I can do pot roast beef beef with brown ale if you like?

Or just beef. Not beef beef.

Never typed beef so much in my life!

I'll bring some home made-
Chilli jam
Piccalilli
Tomato relish

Also some lovely olives, some gorgeous cheddar cheese from my friend the cheese maker and really nice focaccia, with lots of olive oil, sea salt and caramelised onions on top.

This all sounds wonderful. I'm a little bit sad that I won't actually be eating all of this!

Anyone want to bring crackers?

We will need Yorkshire Pudding if we are having beef, it is the law!
If you've got some eggs Caulk i'll make it when I get there.

Also red cabbage and horseradish sauce are delicious with beef.

I'm bringing prawn cocktail complete with shredded iceberg lettuce as you utter heathens seem to have overlooked it
And then some cherry brandy that my neighbour makes and then brings round as he doesn't like it!

Yep I've got eggs. The oven isn't huge and the numbers have all been rubbed off due to an over enthusiastic cleaner some years back. Hope that doesn't matter to anyone. We've got a thermometer in there though!
