Christmas trees, drinks, decorations and all that sort of thing

Anyone got recommendations for Irish Coffee?

Single cream and Nescafé doesn't really seem quite up to the mark IMO.

Same for Egg Nog.

And it can stay there. I think they look better there than in the house.

But just getting other supplies in

Got in the wine stock today, two crates might be overdoing it given we're having no guests and only I drink, but...

Christmas movie on, lights blazing and a bottle open

What does the sign on the tree say? Something about plastic bottles?

600 and odd plastic bottles donated by Wessex Water so as to remind/encourage us to recycle stuff this Christmas.

Fairly eye catching reminder but oddly located in a pedestrian only location away from the main shopping "streets".

The roman blind stays up more-or-less all the time the Xtmas tree lights are on. To lift the spirits of the weary commuters as they shuffle past from the nearby station, and to spread the Christmas cheer.

Normally it goes up higher but one of the cords broke y'day.

One decorated flat - 3 days too early. At home the tree is now inside and will be decorated a day early. Probably.

I leave this Christmas decorations business to nature, just add water occasionally and it flowers on time every year.

[QUOTE 4068970, member: 9609"]Have put up my very first xmas tree up today, have never done one ever before - acquired one last night, sank a 3" post about 2 foot down and have it bolted to that with ubolts, so I reckon it should easily survive storm eva tomorrow night. and its getting a good test tonight, its getting a fair battering out there at the moment and the lights just look great swaying back and forward.
