Santa did indeed arrive at the Twinning’s annual Morning of Christmas Cheer.  In his bright red suit and curly white beard, Santa even brought with him a sack full of little gifts for everyone.  Maybe a surplus from his busy workshop?

With roaring log fires and Christmas decorations, Maralyn hosted a taste of Christmas to come, just a week before the big day.  To get in the jolly mood, there was plenty of warm mulled wine to drink and also hot spiced apple juice for those preferring a non-alcoholic alternative.  Stepping into the dining room, you found a table spread full of Christmas delights: warm mince pies,  stolen bites, , lebkuchen, Christmas biscuits, chocolates, cheeses, crudites, grapes, fruits, etc.  Certainly our tums were very happy too!

For all who came along, it was a chance to meet a very jovial Santa … and maybe even drop a hint as to what you wanted for Christmas! … as well as to round off the enjoyable and varied Twinning social calendar of the year, whilst wishing friends old and new a very good Christmas holiday.

PS  Many thanks to Dave Smith for helping fill Santa’s boots this year!
