Merry Christmas, Bea! :<3:
When my grandmother was a naughty girl, she'd only get Satsuma peel and ashes in her stocking.
Though she reckoned it was when her parents had no money. :(
In my brother-in-law's family, you got a potato in your stocking if you'd been bad. Once, when my nephew was just a little one: learning to talk fairly well but still babbling in baby-talk a bit, he got really mad at his father. He burst out with a stream of incoherent toddler babble, but ended with an EMPHATIC "tatoe!!!!" Obviously wishing the WORST (to a toddler) on his father!!! :D
What's even cuter is that it was nowhere near Christmas at the time!!!

Merry Christmas Friends all over the world!
Nadolig Llawen Pawb!

Hope everyone is well and having a good day with your families.
I've still got laptop troubles but my nephew is here for lunch and brought his with him.
So while he's watching tv and I'm waiting for the lunch to cook I have control!!!! ah ha hah hah!!
Very quiet day here Lola took one look at me preparing lunch and took cover back in his hide!
Lunch is an hour later than planned - if we get it at all - there's still plenty of time for it all to go horribly wrong!!

Anyway I'll try to get back on later but have to go and slave over a hot stove and popty ping now.
So see you soon.
Xmas love to all X

Merry Christmas @Lyn W

So glad you and Lola had chance to pop in and see us this festive season. We miss you. I hope the new popty ping holds up to Christmas day.

Our turkey is about an hour from being ready for the table

We're watching the Jungle Book (new film rather than trad cartoon) on tv while it finishes.

Hope you're having a great festive day :)

So sorry, John.:(
My best thoughts are with you.:<3:
Merry Christmas, and don't forget there are people who love you and thinking about you all over the world.
I can't offer you a Christmas dinner right now.
But will arrange for one in Spain in January.:)

We've all posted now, except for Ed, who hasn't got his yet. :(
It'll be there soon, though, no worries.:)
I have no Wyfi and no more media on my phone.
So I'm paying through the nose for this.
Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays to all.
I'll be back when I can.
I got your card, Adam on Christmas eve.
Thanks.
Ed

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I went over to my daughter's house at zero dark thirty, but the great grandkids were still asleep. We sat around and visited for a half hour or so then woke the kids up. They're still be bit too young to realize about Santa, etc. but once they woke up they got right down to business, ripping off paper and looking for the next present.

I stayed until the last present was toast, then I came home. After all the hubbub at my daughter's house, coming home to a cold, quiet house seemed a bit . . . well, not really sad, but maybe anticlimactic? Misty was very welcoming, and once I got the fire going in the woodstove, it was more comfortable and inviting. And now there's all of you! I'm surprised to see so many members online today.
