Well It's Over, Are You Glad?

[TWR]

I think it's going to "Over the Top"

[Tilly2]

I didn't go over the top but it's nice not to be having to 'entertain'. I have had guests since last Thursday and now they've gone.

I've had a lovely day today, doing my own thing.

[Jackdaw33]

Is it over? I haven't heard the Fat Lady sing yet.

[TWR]

Same here Tilly, too much Food / Drink, nice to get back to reality. x

[Tilly2]

I didn't have too much drink. None of my guests drank alcohol. I was very abstemious. It was fine.

[Baldric]

Surely it's only too 'over the top' if you allow it to become so, we had a really good Christmas/Boxing Day, relaxed, good food and as many drinks as we wanted, but no way was it OTT.

[Islay]

You may well go over the top but I certainly did not.

If you cannot contain yourself that is your issue!

[-Talbot-]

back to the here and now yeah?

[Cloverjo]

I didn't go over the top. Just a couple of family members for a few days. I love to see them, but it's quite hard to entertain, feed and water people continuously for that time. Back to normal, now.

[TWR]

19.40 I expected an answer like that from you.

[Islay]

Glad you were not disappointed then!!

[TWR]

Not you T.

It's good to let yourself go for a couple of days but it's nice to be back to the routine. 'Entertaining' is hard work! There are so many aspects to it.

Did you have visitors, TWR?

[SherryBea]

We didn't go over the top but were witness to people who did at a boxing day lunch.They were drinking shot after shot of a vile liqueur based short then collapsed in a drunken heap. Maybe its a generation thing ( they were my daughter, her partner and friends) but its not my idea of a good time.

[TWR]

We did Tilly, Family, and we visited many people that did not have a chip on their shoulder!! they were "nice" people that could come out with a simple answer to a Q, but there we go.

[Tilly2]

You didn't serve them mushy peas on their dinner, did you, TWR?

[TWR]

No lol, our friend just come out for a few drinks, they had already eaten, think they were all full to the brim, they answered a Q that was similar to the OP but answered with the same as I.

We only went over the top with the Turkey,and I'm glad its over. Every year we say we'll spend Xmas somewhere warm and get waited on had and foot, but we always end up at home with a turkey big enough to feed the village.

[Tilly2]

We are going away on in the New Year 2018 so, next year, 2017 we are not inviting anyone for Christmas. We will have a 'quiet' Christmas for a change.

[TWR]

We tried that last year Rocky, Teneirfe, No Xmas atmosphere they celebrate in Feb, only good thing was the weather.
