Cinnamon Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 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...

fowlbird Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) 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... snowball snowball snowball snowball snowball snowball snowball snowball snowball snowball snowball edited: 26.12.08 the most awful thing happened - the Advocaat had curdled - it smelled ok but looked odd so didn't risk it Edited December 26, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 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.

jlo Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 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!
