I must add that Foxy's delectable sounding morsels would also have to wend their way into the menu.

Her descriptions of

<< 'bliny,' (buckwheat pancakes).... 'kulebiaka,' a flaky salmon loaf, or... one made with a cabbage filling; 'Borshch '(Beet soup... [and] 'pelmeni' (Russian dumplings filled with cheese and spinach) >>

are positively mouth-watering.

Almost as much as some of the ladies' proposed attire.

Yum.

"Hehe Bronny, You’ll be easy to recognize in that bullet-proof hat. I hope it won’t be too hot at the day of the party!"

Sheesh, Celivia, you didn't think I was actually going to wear that, did you? That suggestion was purely for the boys. I'm a demure little thing. I can have a big mouth at times and frequently put my foot in it, but I doubt very much I'll need any bullet-proof clothing. CJ and Col, on the other hand, I'm not so sure of. And who knows what Fractelle has in mind!

I know you've disappeared for now. As with many of us, you'll be busy preparing and celebrating another special and of course much more 'real' occasion over the next week or so. I wish you and all others here a very happy festive season and look forward to taking up where we've left off once we've all recovered from C/mas and New Year celebrations.

Thank you for your wonderful efforts so far, and to Pelican too for getting our narrative off to a great start, and to everyone else who has entered into the spirit and contributed a little of themselves and their imagination. You're a great bunch!

Well, I'll leave the dress shopping for now. As one of the millions on Internet Explorer, I probably shouldn't be browsing too indiscriminately at the moment anyway, at least until I have their latest 'patch' securely in place. I'll concentrate on my Christmas shopping instead. Oh, joy!

"Sheesh, Celivia, you didn't think I was actually going to wear that, did you? That suggestion was purely for the boys."

Hee-hee just lightly teasing you, Bronwyn, (that's what hopeful thoughts about topped-up wineglasses does to my brain, and that's only virtual wine) but you're right that the hats will suit the boys much better than us, who can get away with wonderful hairdos.

I have decided what to do with my long hair.
I'll reveal it but promise not to copy me!

OK before the Christmas spirit will completely possess me, I will say sincerely:

Merry Christmas, everyone, this is my last night here. I'll see you all at the party (or back here on OLO) after Christmas.
Eat, drink, and be merry!
Cheers!

I loved the fun we had on this thread, Pelican, thank you.

Thank you all for your contributions to this thread which was just for a bit of fun.

I will be off the radar for a while too and wish everyone on OLO a Happy Christmas and best of health and happiness for the New Year.

Cheerio for now.

Notice how all the women are dropping away as the role of Christmas workhorse beckons once again!

If I had the time and the inclination I'd start a thread and a good ding-dong argument! But sorry fellas I've got to go shop, cook, clean, wrap, decorate and whatever else I still haven't thought of.

Oddly enough though I do eventually find my Christmas spirit. In fact the harder I work the more I find it!

How stupid is that.

Pelican

Again thank you for this wonderful topic – clearly it still has much life left despite being an oldie.

Celivia - your hair has been doing steroids - thought I'd warn ya.

Bronwyn - you have nothing to fear from me - just wanna keep the men-folks in line.

To all may your Christmas feasts be even a fraction as delectable as either Foxy's or Forrest's – you will have a sensational time.
