[zippitippitoes]

....alternative treats to spend a fortune on and get the christmas spirit..chocolate is sorted more or less

chocolate

fio I've signed the pledge..can't have any at all

as i usually open a bottle while i'm amking Christmas lunch I'm going to be at a loss..

I do like the innocent smoothies cherry and something stuff but it's abit filling..not like alcohol!

Does anyone know if you can get non-alcoholic mulled wine anywhere?

maybe you can make something with cinnamon sticks and grape juice ..on the other hand that sounds seriously yuk (but then I prefer wine very winey adulterated with nothing but wine rather than spicey)

yummy snacks?

Thanks for that link, dara. Just put in an order so feeling less depressed about a non-alcoholic pregnant festive period ! Now if I could just make MIL disappear it's be perfect...........

Proper pressed apple juice is lovely warmed up with spices in it.

Doesn;t pretend to be wine, but is nice all teh same.

LiatHoHoHo you can also get a lovely non-alcoholic mulled wine from M&S I am going to get it, can't drink v much whilst up the duff

Arrgh, no festive sad face!

Rochester ginger.

Tastes like you're having a stiff drink. Gorgeous. Unless you don't like ginger.

luxury chocs
a wide selection of juice drinks from a posh supermarket (raspberry & white peach - that sort of thing).
Freshly made smoothies.
Icecream sodas.
Get some frozen strawberries and make strawberry milkshake.
Freshly made lemonade from real lemons.

you absolutely do not need alcohol!

zippitipptoes: if you mull wine with the saucepan lid off the alcohol boils away anyway (at 40 degrees I think).

That's what I'll be doing
