I Have Been Invited To A Friends For Christmas Day

[emmie]

firstly should i go, afraid that my legs will give out as i'm none too steady on my pins these days, second what do i take with me as a gift for the host/hostess - bubbly but that's rather expensive, what else could you recommend.

[emmie]

would a nice bottle of red be acceptable, as we had a lovely Wolf Blass cabernet Sauvignon the other day and thought might take that, unless any one has other ideas??

[mallyh]

will you be getting a lift there ,couple of bottles of wine ,lidls do some really good priced ones

[Islay]

Wine is fine and maybe some cheese and biscuits x

[hc4361]

A bottle of port, cheese and biscuits

[Sqad]

Do you want to go?
That is the question.
Many people living alone for Christmas, just like it that way and it is annoying when friends or family insist that you cannot be left in piece on Christmas Day.

[pastafreak]

Any of the above...and don't worry about your legs.

[albaqwerty]

Yes, Go, think I read elsewhere that friend will be collecting you.
(I can relate to the not too steady on one's pins)

As has been suggested, bottle of wine and cheese and biscuits.

Or are you looking for something a bit more personal as a gift for them?

[pastafreak]

I hope sqad means "peace"...;-)

[emmie]

i think she will come and pick me up, but don't know how i'll get home if its late, apart from taxi.

[Sqad]

LOL...thanks pasta.......yes peace LOL

[emmie]

sqad
i am in two minds, i want to go, but physically im not in great shape, don't want to make a fool of myself.. by insisting on going home when its early. they won;t have dinner till about six or so. I look forward to meeting the family mind you, Lizzie has her father coming along and sister as well as hubby of course and the two children.

[emmie]

i understand lol

[albaqwerty]

it's the medic in him, Pasta, body parts and pieces :-)

(sorry sqad xx)

[emmie]

so a couple of bottles of wine or one bottle and some cheese and biscuits..

[emmie]

could be left in pieces, just my blooming luck, lol

[Sqad]

emmie.... what you post above describes to me is an absolute nightmare...kids, family , noise, late meals, balloons and crackers.......no, I like my routine in my own comfortable surroundings.

[mallyh]

oh sqad bah humbug springs to mind lol x

[emmie]

sqad went to family last year and that was nice but the same, very noisy and i got rather tired early on. but think i will go, seems a pity to pass up meeting her family..

[andres]

Box of chocolates ?

[emmie]

found some nice shortbread tins on sainburys website, so likely will go with that and some nice wine.
