It's 2 weeks until the big day.. and I'm feeling peckish for a mince pie and baileys* or two. Who wants to join me in having a virtual Christmas do?

Paper plates are on the side, Cliff Richard is on the radio and I've got some party hats. Who's game?

    Yes I'll join.  Who can resist Baileys?  I've put iTunes on but can't find my Christmas Playlist, will have to make a new one.

    I think I might start wrapping up presents today.

    For the first time in the last 5 years I am not dreading Christmas.
    Two of my closest family members have actually been in touch with each other.

    So today is a good day!  :)

    @ShirleyW Well that's lovely to hear and brilliant about your family reconnecting. Do you have much to wrap? I haven't made a start yet  :o

    @PSp27pe2 If you'd like to post photos here, that would be fine. As long as you are comfortable with what you are sharing  :) 

    What's your favourite Christmas party food and do you have any songs you love listening to?

    I love sausage rolls I'm having Baileys right now. We should do a zoom get together for the members with @Giovanni_Scope.

    For me, Christmas really starts when I watch The Snowman. Then get upset when he melts (whyyyyy!!  :s

    @durhamjaide2001 oh good idea! And yum, you can't go wrong with sausage rolls. I've yet to try a meat free one @PSp27pe2 - I do keep meaning to try.

    Did someone say Wham..
