I was just going to start a Christmas thread and noticed Prickles as put one up so I will add my wish to you all on here, thank you Prickles <3

<3 Christmas & New Year Wish for you all <3

May all the sweet magic of Christmas conspire
to gladden your heart and fill every desire.

May this Christmas end the present year on a cheerful note
and make way for a fresh and bright New Year.

May the good times and treasures of the present year,
become the golden memories of tomorrow.

May your Christmas sparkle with moments of love, laughter and goodwill,and may the year ahead be full of contentment and joy.

As you relish the goodies, which decorate every nook and corner of your home,may the joy and festivities continue to radiate in your lives,long after Christmas is gone and into the new year.

The gift of love,
The gift of peace,
The gift of happiness, May all these be yours this Christmas time.

May the new year fill your home with joy,
your heart with love and your life with laughter,
but most of all good health throughout the year.

<3 Love and Best Wishes to You All <3

A happy Christmas to all of our friends on here (yes even Admin, you too). Hope father C brings you all you wish for. If anyone is on their own please call in some of us will be around to chat.

There are so many friends who have left us over the years, remembering them as well and hoping they are not caausing too much havoc at that big GR party wherever they are. Daff loved Glitter so probably everyone is sparkling now. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

It was Christmas Day in the workhouse
The merriest day of the year
The paupers and the prisoners
Were all assembled there.

In came the Christmas pudding
When a voice that shattered glass
Said, “We don’t want your Christmas pudding
So stick it there with the rest of the unwanted presents.”

The workhouse master then arose
And prepared to carve the duck
He said “Who wants the parson’s nose
And the prisoners shouted “You have it yourself, sir.”

The vicar brought his Bible
And read out little bits.
Said one old crone at the back of the hall
“This man gets on very well with everybody.”

The workhouse mistress then began
To hand out Christmas parcels.
The paupers tore the wrappers off
And began to wipe their eyes, which were full of tears.

The master rose to make a speech
But just before he started
The mistress, who was fifteen stone,
Gave three loud cheers and nearly choked herself.

And all the paupers then began
To pull their Christmas crackers.
One pauper held his too low down
And blew off both his paper hat and the man’s next to him.

A steaming bowl of white bread sauce
Was handed round to some.
An aged gourmet then called aloud
“This bread sauce tastes like it was made by a continental chef.”

Mince pie with custard sauce was next
And each received a bit.
One pauper said “The mince pie’s nice
But the custard tastes like the bread sauce we had in the last verse!”

The mistress dishing out the food
Dropped custard down her front.
She cried “Aren’t I a silly girl!”
And they answered “You’re a
perfect picture as always ma’am !”

“This pudding “, said the master,
“Is solid, hard and thick.
How am I going to cut it?”
And a man cried, “Use your penknife sir, the one with the pearl handle.”

The mistress asked the vicar
To entertain his flock.
He said, “What would you like to see ?”
And they cried, “Let’s see your conjuring tricks, they’re always worth watching.”

“Your reverence, may I be excused ?”
Said one benign old chap.
“I don’t like any conjuring tricks.
I’d sooner have a carol or two around the fire”

So then they all began to sing
Which shook the workhouse walls.
“Merry Christmas!” cried the master,
And the inmates shouted “Best of luck to you as well sir!”



Merry Christmas to all, but my own personal feelings are...Bah Humbug!
:-D :-D :-D

A Very Merry Christmas to all GR Friends old and new.
