TSC. Preparation PiP

Oooooooh pink sherry.....how lush!!! Hope they were all very happy!!

They were all so happy that they left presents for Christmas, Cheryl. ;-)

Very good, I like this shot very much.
But why posted at the fag end of 25/12? I would have thought that a day earlier would have been more apt, unless my computer has got VERY slow!
Anyway, I'm sure Santa would have preferred at least a medium sized glass of sherry!
Mind you, it does look very tempting, especially the carrot (as a diabetic, carrots are a complete no-no, apparently as they are the tuber with the highest sugar content - after beetroot, obviously!).
Have a wonderful Christmas Day!
:o)

Thanks, Andy. It was posted at the fag end because we were a tad busy o Christmas Day, and this was the fist opportunity I had to be on our machine. And it seems that Santa gets lots of glasses of sherry, and it wouldn't do if he arrived at the end of his journey with a hangover. ;-)

All valid points, of course! And just seen the Pip! Very good!
Best wishes, Andy

:~) x

Did you leave a little snack for Santa and his reindeer Nick? ;-)

No we just left out sunflower hearts, fat balls, bread, grapes and other oddments ~ first come first served :~) Santa missed the boat xxxx

... I was afraid, it's your Xmas meal ....

We had a bit moire than this Heidi, but i won't list it all. ;-).

Fabulous capture and PIP!

Thank you William. I have only recently learned how to do a PiP.

:-D love it

I'm delighted that you liked this one Chrissy. :-)).

Nice treat for all, especially the sherry for Santa and no problems with drunken flying of a sleigh. As we all know Rudolph it really the one in charge of that part of the operation:)

Rudolph and the others made short shrift of the carrots, Doug, and i think that sanat was quite OK with thus very small sherry. ;-)

Great combination

Thank you Gillian.

;) how lovely this is!

This was the most important preparation of the day, Tanja. ;-)

yes, we always leave those in the hearth to refresh Santa and his team too . . .

Now wonder Santa is quite rotund, Stoker. At least he has another 364 days to get slim again.

Amelia, machst Du Diät? :) Herzliche Grüße sendet Karl

We lead a very austere life in the UK, Karl. No point overdoing it. Besides I need to keep my svelte and elegant outline. ;-)

Mmmmmm .. i like raw Snowmans noses too :))

I wonder of that snowman pinched one of the carrots, Steve? ;-)

It looks tasty and healthy over all.

I think the mince pie might have spoiled the overall healthy option here, Léopold. ;-)

Lucky Reindeers !

Thank you for the invitation, William.

How nice and funny, Amelia!

Don't you put anything out for Santa and his reindeer, Dany?

Sure not. But I remember when I was a child .There was no Santa, we had the Christ Child that brought the gifts and we left tangerines and nuts for him on the table.

Cute shot, Amelia. I've not heard of this tradition, but if I had I might have snuck down the chimney for the sherry and mince pie.

What - and spoil Santa's little treat, Ron? ;-)

Maybe you can start a new tradition in your household, especially if you have young children in the family.

es war sicherlich der Nachtisch bei der Aufnahmezeit, schätze ich mal ;-);
sehr schön präsentiert, Amelia!

Our desert as syllabub, Christel. i think the family might have objected to a few carrots, a small mince pie and a meagre glass of sherry. ;-)

Ha ha! =D I hope Santa enjoyed it ;-)

I'm sure he did, Sami, and the reindeer made short shrift of the carrots. ;-)

Oh a simple but pleasing presentation ... bravo ... The mince pie and sherry ... what a great treat for Father Christmas ... bet the reindeer were happy as well. :)

We only had duck with all the trimmings followed by syllabub,and a cheeseboard Chris. After all that I somehow felt that I should have stuck to a carrot and a small glass of sherry. ;-)

Obviously Santa was very pleased with your offerings! The penguin wrapping paper is sweet;-)

Santa always likes coming to our house, Guydrun and is so generous. Our youngest grandson was so excited when he came downstairs to find that Santa and his reindeer had eaten this ' feast'.. ;-)

what a lovely scene.. we always feed the reindeer too! Merry Christmas Amelia

Thank goodness someone else feeds the Reindeer, SY. They have such a lot of places in the world to get round. ;-)

That is so sweet!

Thank you, Esther. Even my grown up daughters and grandsons do this. :-))

This is the healthiest looking plate on TSC this week.

Maybe if I took out the mince pie and the sherry it would have been a healthier option, Pappy. ;-)

very funny, you even invited Santa...

Well of course, Luc. he was the most important guest at our table at Christmas. ;-)

**Big smile**

keep smiling and the world smiles with you Lutz. ;-)

Ah just beautiful, hope Santa and team appreciated it.
