There has been chat on another thread of Babycham, Pony & Cherry B, & how we all associate them with this time of year

 

We always,without fail,get a 4 pack of Babycham & Snowballs in at this time of year,plus red cocktail cherries & even paper parasols!

If you can't do kitsch at Christmas,when can you?

[Tessa the Duchess]

My late mum was not a drinker except at christmas when she had a couple of snowballs, makes me a bit sad to see them now I used to love Cherry B when I was 'much' younger, but I honestly don't think I could drink one now..shudder...

Sherry trifle...got to have trifle over Christmas.

[susanbb]

Cinzano bianco and lemonade...the sophistication of it all. I did like Snowball though

[Guest]

I like a nice snowball at Christmas too but I@m driving everywhere here so it's diet coke for me! I have a big bottle of pink wine though!

[BarbaraJ]

I think we forgot advocat so no snowballs here lol but i don't care because i'm getting a cube

[Helly Welly]

Schloer for us, every year since i was a tiddler. I can't drink cos of the tablets i'm on so i'll have to pretend. I would love a snowball though

[fowlbird]

Now, Barbara - a cube is no substitute for Advocaat... We keep it in all year round but I only drink it at xmas...

 

In fact...

Cheese footballs and a big tin of quality street epitomise my retro Christmas....and pickled walnuts.

 

We always had a jar just at Christmas and every year I would taste one to see if they were as horrible as I remembered. They were.

Hubby has already asked if Santa will bring him chocolate buttons for breakfast in bed!

Bucks fizz in the morning - oh yes snowballs, I remember those - I wasn't keen. Baileys on ice for me or Tia Maria & coke. mmmmm But I'm driving later tomorrow so apart from a bucks fizz, that will be it - it will be Schloer for me...but boxing day well & New Year, I will be legless.

Please find a different yellow to type in I can not read it

 

 

For me at Christmas it will be a stiff cup of tea because I am driving but when not a single malt whisky please.

 

Best regards For a tipsy Christmas for all none drivers and a sober one for all who drive.

 

Happy Christmas

On a non alcoholic note ...I always bought my dad a round box of jellied lemon and orange slices that were drenched with sugar. Tooth rotting stuff!

 

Also, a box of dates with a little plastic fork thing. The dates were usually kept until the end of January and then thrown out! You can only eat so many rubbery dates!
