I don't have an outfit. Are jeans ok?

@Rawkaren, I'm shocked. Thought you always have an outfit. Aren't you the resident fashionista? Well, I guess I'm coming in jeans, as that's what I'm wearing right now, and besides, I need to get comfy to play with the little folk. What y'all call littlies. Speaking of whom, where are they all? I'm ready to play games and fetch punch and cookies for them.

Well I am in bed with a stomach bug - hopefully there will be some leftovers?

Oh no @silverdarling we'll save you a doggie bag of goodies. The pick of the lot.
Now shape up everyone...
I am on the ball. Hum, let me see, we have mains, puds, goodies, decorations, pince mies.... I can provide chutney.... who is doing starters?
I need to be up to speed here peeps. Have we missed anything?

Got my sparkly frock on.
Think I may need an TVR to keep me going. ( Tequila, vodka and red bull), to give me a boost up. Only time. Red bull, is ever consumed by me.

I've eaten too many mince pies and sausages and drunk too many cocktails waiting for @manderley to get those birds cooked! And has anyone peeled the potatoes and prepped the veg?

At least the kids are being looked after...

This is my festive outfit. I have to drive back into Newman and a colleague wants a tin of Quality Street; will I be able to stay away from the purple ones?!
Anyone for a festive muffin?!

You look great in your sparkly frock @carieoates

Oh, @Debs I love the purple ones - a hazelnut in the middle - right ???? I sometimes dream about Quality Street - yes, strange, I know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never been into Quality Street - but Cadbury's Roses - now you're talking!

@Madcatlady, I love both QS and CR. Christmas seems to be about the only time we get QS here, whereas we can have Roses anytime. Last year I had 3 tins of QS... I managed to restrict myself to only one this year! But also have a large pack of Roses...
A festive muffin would be lovely thanks @Debs, it would go very nicely with my coffee. And love your outfit!!! @Carieoates, you look marvelous in yours. My Christmas attire is very practical, cotton T-shirt with Christmas print, and cotton trews, because by the time I finish washing up in the Aussie heat, anything more glamorous would be wrecked.

I was just told by one of my colleagues here that you can only get QS at Xmas, I didn't know! A warmed festive muffin with cream will go down well.
I have just purchased a new item, Xmas Pudding greek yoghurt which I shall have for Xmas Day brekkie in the office with my lovely colleague. So, if anyone wants some.....!
Also @carieoates, you look amazing in that frock!

@carioates You look wonderful
I don't have a christmassy outfit, no sparkly clothes here, but as I have a dress, you know the little black dress, with some accessories that should be nice

More than half the birds are done and I even have somebody to help with the stuffing, everything is under control

Sorry to burst your bubble but they are not the same as we remember when we were kids. They are smaller and the chocolate is not very nice. I suppose you could always buy a giant one (which you can buy individually)!
@carieoates. Yes you look fab. Glad someone has made the effort but @debs looks great in her work outfit too!
Anyone for an early morning glass of Buck's Fizz/mimosa?
