Serious Christmas thread ......

Thank you everyone for contributing to this thread.

I wish you all a HAPPY CHRISTMAS ..... and a very peaceful and enjoyable time.

Looks like I will be in my warm and cosy bed...... I got an horendous dose of flu, with all the coughing, snorting, etc`s that come with walking around at midnite in minus 10 degrees! Dang!..I keep forgetting about how old I am and to stop doing stupid things!

So, my Christmas will be peaceful, I`m gong to be acting like a real old lady, and the family can just bring me some food and leave quietly.

I hope to be fully recoverd by New Year though ..... big plans for THAT weekend!

YOU ALL HAVE FUN AND ENJOY WHAT YOU ARE DOING...

RE: For Expats Only: What are the things that you miss from your home country?

Blowing up ATM`s to get some ready cash ...

hi-jacking cars in the search for the perfect auto .......

Those sirens that go off when you open your front door and forget to put in the code within the allotted time and the armed response arrives and arrests you for being in your own house cause you forgot the latest pass-word ......

...... Barking dogs as the little children try to sing Christmas Carols in the streets ......

Mistaking gun shots for fire-crackers .....

Life is just TOO peaceful here!

RE: I need a big favour!!

I would if I could ... but my electronic knowledge is limited to what I can do ... which is very little.

RE: New Year's Eve 2011

...or a broad with a broad b******e........?

Reminds me of when I spoke no German and I asked my friend at a party what is a "Glockenspiel"? ... She pointed to a lady sitting on a barstool, bum overflowing the sides and said "Dat ist ah Glockenspiel!"

RE: Seasons blessed

Lovely, Cuspo......

Did you write that yourself?

Country and Western songs.......with meaning....?

Nice .... foot tapping song ......

How do you choose your Christmas gifts...?

I have a friend who spends the whole year doing her Christmas Shopping.

She has a bag for each friend/family member ... and fills it, slowly, with small little items she finds when and where she happens to be browsing .... Everything is small, usually quite inexpensive, but thoughtful .... things she thinks that person would appreciate.

For instance ..... one person always gets scented candle (for a stress-free bath) .... bath essence (to help the stress).... body lotion (for after stress).....small bottle of wine (to de-stress).....sachet of hair conditioner (for stress-free hair)......emery board for nails (to while away the stress).......

So ....... how do you plan/buy what each person gets?

Country and Western songs.......with meaning....?

Nice going ..... I enjoy all your songs you people post!

RE: A real life Jaws

ahhhhahaaaaa....... I read in the news here that the Arabs are saying the shark was put in their sea by Mossad ...... ......

RE: Xmas Day Brunch

Chrisys......... I hope you remember to take some photos ..... Before the Big Eat, of the food you prepared .... and then some "action" shots of the day ..huh?

When I die, I am only coming back here when it`s time to discover Fire ... again! In the meantime, let the world cleanse itself......

How you all liking the Wikileaks?

Alphabet game of Christmas Gifts YOU would like....

Sausage and Brot ..... the usual Swiss "Take-away"... standing in the street, in the snow, in Zurich ........watching all the wonderfully dressed folk parading around, and the frantic Christmas shopping taking place.

I don`t get to eat much "fast-food" these days .. I got this health fanatic boyfriend guy who takes life far too seriously, like we gonna live forever, or something?

Okay, so I done the S........ next is T....

RE: Xmas Day Brunch

Re-reading your opening post I see the kids are from 6months to to 7 years old.......

The party I was at where they enjoyed those sausage rolls was all pre-school kiddies .... those who could stand (in their nappies!) hung around the coffee table (sausage rolls were for the Mums) ... and poured their cold drink into the dish and ate the sausage rolls soaked in juice! hahaaaaaa.......

Better remove any carpets you got!

Oh, and don`t forget ... a little bit of sliced fresh fruit ... for the Mums on diets.......

RE: Xmas Day Brunch

Aaahh Chrisy, what a good idea ... you must be a wonderful man!

Ja, I found, when my kids were little, and also these grand-kids of mine ...... they actually enjoy savoury stuff too!

An easy savoury is ...... ordinary beefy sausages, take them out of their skins ..... buy some ready made Puff Pastry ... roll it out, line up long skinny rolls of the sausage meat (maybe crush some garlic into it, the kids I know like it ) ..... cut the pastry in long strips to fold over the meat, then cut into finger sizeable small pieces (mini sausage rolls), and bake at the temp stated on the pastry wrapper.... easy.

You can prepare them the day before, and bake them in the morning... about 15 - 20 mins.

Donta forget the Champagne with Orange Juice for the Mums .. makes them relax while their kids tear your apartment to pieces!
