After Gus cat took our tree down single-pawedly for the second time today, we have decided to remove it permanently.

Cat? Or tree? If it's cat, that's a very mafioso way of saying it . . .

He's sleeping with the fishes... which means he'll have plenty to eat when he wakes up, at least.

I've been very fortunate in that the cats U've had have never had any interest in the Christmas Tree; having seen the evidence of Gus' systematic Grinch-ery, I can understand your concerns!

I don't know. We buy cats all these dangly and shiny toys but expect them not to touch the Christmas tree, with its infinity of shiny, dangly baubles.

That's true - it's like an "open world" cat toy!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas in these parts! I'm wrapping presents and cut my fingernails this morning, which is no good for when it comes to using the Sellotape.

In other news, I had a gingerbread latte at a coffee emporium a couple of days ago. First time I'd ever ordered coffee from such a place - and I felt queasy for the rest of the day. Yay!

I can't stand Gingerbread Latte, bleh...

I'm not a fan of gingerbread altogether. If I'm going for a Christmas drink, make it...

...actually make it mulled something and forget the coffee. I had mulled mead for the first time the other day. It's pretty good you chaps!

Gingerbread is amazing! I had a gingerbread Drunkalilly made by my friend Mary yesterday (we'd booked the function room at Spoons to exchange secret santa presents and she'd made everyone)

Good effort. Correct girth and stumpy limbs. However, must dock marks for the incorrect limb being cracked.

B/10

But the head hole's fine.

My review has been exposed, I am disgraced.

Seven second ban.

Muss, you have to shoot me in the head. It's the only way to redeem yourself!

It's far too warm for the festive season.  At least there was a roaring gale yesterday, but that's not really good enough is it?

The chat up here is that it's to be 15oC in Aberdeen on Christmas Day. Bollocks to that.

Roaring a gale here in Ayrshire though. I'd had loads of stuff planned today but I've sacked it. Might just stick Christmas NiGHTS for the Saturn on 👍

Stick the pigs and blankets on the barbie Cappa!

Speaking of which, my family doesn't believe in PIBs at Christmas.

Fish in smoked salmon blankets, for me!

Happy Christmas, to one and all! Have a relaxing day.

Merry Christmas one and all! Hope y'all have wonderful fun and food-filled holidays!

Merry Christmas GNamer! Hope you all have a wonderful day full of cheer and good food.

Merry Chrismas fellow forumites! Have a good one!

Merry Christmas!

Have a good'n. I've just been summoned to dinner...

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you got everything you wanted and more.

What's on the Lilly family table sir?

Our Christmas lunch is a small one: salmon, Russian pancakes, and champagne. The dinner is where it's at.
