Here come the Girls

It’s become a tradition that we get together with family and friends in mid-December to get Christmas off to a flying start with a few drinks. It’s not too early to start celebrating and it’s not too late to interfere with people’s plans for the big day itself. Throw in the fact that the venue is right in the middle of the country and it should be accessible for everyone to pop in and say hello, even if it’s only for a quick drink and a mince pie. Party games are kept to a minimum song that each and every table must join in with their own chorus to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas. A fair bit of grub is laid on, though you need to be quick if you’re considering it as your lunch. There’s also balloons and a giant inflatable snowman to keep the youngsters happy, though we’ll probably need a bigger boat and more entertainment in the future.
