All this talk of mistletoe is making me feel very Christmassy - are we having a Christmas party and should we be fixing a date Everybody will have got their "works do's" organised, and concerts, and if we're not careful, we'll all be out elsewhere instead of enjoying ourselves at a forum party

And I want to get a new outfit for the party, and get my hair done, and ... oh all sorts of things, you know what it's like for us girls I want to look my best for my first Forum Christmas Party!

And we need to get decorations and crackers and a tree, and bake a Christmas cake and mince pies....

And is anybody going to make some home-made forum wine or some home-brewed Forum Ale??

So what date are we having it ????

When did we have it last year?

¡?!?!?!? Its not thanksgiving yet!! I say 20th of December.

Last year's Christmas party was on a Thursday. So I think we should continue the trend and do it on the 21st.

I have a nice mulled wine recipe.

The 21st sounds good to me. All exams and concerts finished by then so I can relax. Can I bring the dragon? He was so well behaved at the firework do.

Oh NOoooo - that's the date of our office party Please no.....

Hmm... how about the 20th then, unless the 22nd is popular, although I was unsuccessful in getting the awards ceremony to be on a Friday...

Car Expert

YAAY, the 20th looks good for me

he might like to keep a light under the mulled wine.

20th is OK for me. Yes, Ianto can do that.

Time to compose a list me thinks

I'm pretty sure I'm ok.

What day is 20/12?

Wednesday

Car Expert

a Wednesday I believe. I think I can probably go on the 20th

Ummmmmm sounds ok at the moment but things might change

You mean you might get a better offer ?

...well more like an obligatory Christmas concert!

Can I come?

if you bring chocolate

There's actually a party... :-|

Yep, sure *goes to edit list*

Car Expert

and turkish delight

yeah, you can bring that if you like but I won't eat it...

Count me in!

So will there be a Father Christmas

and can we all ask him for a present

I reckon Mrb should be father christmas!

He'd love that, wouldn't he - everybody queuing up to sit on his knee

ROFL

Thanks CE, what would we do without you You deserve a special present from Father Christmas

Yes, we definitely had a Forums Christmas party last year; see the 2005 Christmas party thread for full details. 54 pages of complete madness in about 18 hours

20th suits me - it's my exam date, so I'm sure I shall have a small thimble of sherry in the evening to celebrate.

Anyone want to put their name on my dance card? Be warned, I'm very discerning!

I didn't know I needed a dance card I thought we might just do the conga or something


[goes off to look for a dance teacher on the internet ....]

Why thank you

Car Expert

I'll come if I can

Count me in, unless my Choir has a Carol Concert that evening.

Mr B would you be Santa Claus? I think you'd be brilliant!

Hmm, are you sure? Santa Bouffant and his "special presents" for the ladies?

I can probably come, my mum's said that the wind band can come and practice in our sitting room that evening So it gives me a reason to retreat upstairs on to the computer, though I may have to fight my Dad...

Ill be there......I'll bring celebrations

I may or may not be there... Depends whether Orchestra stops for a christamas break!

Me too I can make the 20th!

So are we saying this date is definite then? I can book to have my hair done that afternoon etc?

I'll try to make it, and as parties normally go on well after midnight, you guys can celebrate my birthday for me too!

Yaey, two presents for me for birthday and Christmas (looking hopeful)

It's as real as you want it to be or as real as your imagination lets you be

It's happening in cyberspace

The cyberspace one is real to me

But I'm up for a "really real" one as well!

I think I can come... if i'm invited!

Everybody's invited, the more the merrier Especially somebody with chocolate in their name!

he he! Thats good!

... and could he roast the chestnuts as well??

[Are there any little treats Ianto would like for Christmas as a little thank-you for helping us? ]

Yeh, i'll chip in for a pressie if you want!
