A Christmas Tradition ( Family)

[Bobbisox1]

Been down to our local with the family and Lola, only a couple of drinks and home , the pub had a lovely atmosphere and I saw loads of people we knew

Now for a Chinese, it doesn’t get much better than this , tomorrow we meet with our friends for about 4 hours then home by 9-30

[jennyjoan]

what kind of a Chinese do you like Bobbs

Nephew, his wife and kids have just left. I coulda laugh. They don't like pizza, don't like Pavlova - yet all ate. Where did it go.

Just two more nephews to go.

[Bobbisox1]

Hi JJ, I like most things on a Chinese , OH got it at Marksies today, so it’s a comfy night in front of the TV for us

[ummmm]

We don't have any traditions. It's my mums b'day today so a lot depends on what she wants to do.

[jennyjoan]

oh ok - thought you phoned out for one.

I'll have some of the buffet later on and a sneaky wee bit of Pavlova.

[Bobbisox1]

Normally we do JJ But Marksies tonight and it’s delicious x

We had takeaway Chinese from our local one, but it will be the last, manager / owner have changed and I guess chefs have as well, food was really greasy and not tasty. Got a calendar as a valued customer. that will be going in bin. Will try Chinese in next village that does free delivery service.

I have to say M& S best was very nice , now settling down wit PJs on a nice glass of Rose and watching the recorded soaps

[TonyV]

Yes Bobbi M & S take away's are good value for money, do you still get a bottle of wine thrown in with the deal? As for tv we are watching masterchef.

[Bobbisox1]

Not this time Tony but I have some anyway

We don’t have a tradition for the 23rd, but just had a very nice evening with son and his wife and a lovely Indian takeaway. We watched Toy Story 4 and I blubbed, as I knew I would.

[Bobbisox1]

We do it , they finish work, grandson,school and we get together only for an hour or so, it kinda starts the celebrations off

[TonyV]

On my second vodka and tonic, only buy abosute vodka at Christmas as it so moreish.

[Bobbisox1]

Grey Goose here, like Mothers Milk

[TonyV]

^^^^ vodka is absolut

[TonyV]

yes Bobbi another good one, need to get some Gordons gin in tomorrow as Jen has gone off of Boodles gin which she used to like, but last bottle I bought had different label on, so maybe now made by a different company.

[Bobbisox1]

I hate Gin ,smells of hairspray , haha

[TonyV]

not my tipple either, but would be a sad world if we all liked the same. When I visited Jack Daniels distillery it was amazing tour and in a "dry" county.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes , you’re right, that’s my son in laws tipple

[TonyV]

But tradional local moonshine was something else and quite smooth, maybe I got the good stuff.

No traditions here...DD is not so inclined. In fact, she's sitting across from me...glued to her laptop. Finishing a work project that needs completing unfortunately.
I'd be very happy if someone donated a bottle of Ophir gin to me. Not medicinal...has ginger and eastern spices in it. Hmmmm.
