You know it's nearly Christmas when..

Can I resist opening it for a whole 37 days till Christmas Eve though?

You could have had our Baileys... its open and been there for 7 years but should be ok

I found an unopened bottle of “ Bols “ at the back of the cupboard. It’s 60 proof and has 24carat gold flakes in it, if I shake the bottle it’s a bit like an up market alcoholic snow globe. No idea where it came from, has anyone actually tasted the stuff?

When the rest of the family start asking you for Xmas present ideas, FFS! I don't know, just put some cash in my Xmas card.

Substitute the Vodka for a single malt 🥃

I can hear the collective groaning from north of the border from here.

On the subject of whisky, I see Aldi list an 18 year old single malt under the “ Glen Marnoc “ label. I know some of their own brand stuff can be very good, be interesting to find out it’s provenance 🥃

Broke in to my first satsuma last night; instantly brought on Christmas memories

For me it used to be the smell from the Sugar Beet factory on a cold crisp morning.

Now it seems to be when the brushes wear out in the washing machine!.

Like bloomin clockwork, at least it wasn't Christmas Eve like last time. 5th set fitted tonight, don't think it's got long left (can't moan at 10 years service I suppose).

Or the washing machine motor fails. Got new brushes, the old ones were fine, the motor was dead.

The last 'Malt Whisky' I got from Aldi was a disappointment, tasted OK but the 'aftertaste' just wasn't there.

Local Co-op is doing Glen Moray at £18.50 a bottle though

A one litre bottle of Aldi triple distilled vodka and a few tins of condensed milk and you can knock your own up at any strength you like.

And for a substitute advocaat how about chucking a glass of vodka into this!🤔

When a chill wind blowing down the street picks up some tinsel from an office party which floats gently down and alights on an Xmas pavement pizza giving it a cheery festive sparkle...

Commutator was looking a bit worn on ours but hopefully it'll do another year!.
