Christmas Night

 This year we hosted Christmas Dinner and as things turned out it was somewhat more than just a dinner.

It had been decided that there should also be a double barreled blind wine tasting.  The first leg was a series of 3 champagnes, cheap middle of the road and expensive. Mitchell was tasked with counting the votes so he set up a website for us to enter our selections.

As it turned out as many liked the cheap bottle as the middle of the road.  

The next test was to see how age influenced red wine.  We had three "Annie's Lane" shiraz, 2006,2013 and 2020.  It proved an easier task to identify the old reds.

After the main course we had the traditional Game.  There were lots of presents ready to be stolen.

There were a number of presents that were contenders for the Most Stolen. Chocolate proved to have a lasting attraction for many.

However the award for the "Most Stolen" went to James for his Box Set of Baileys Irish Cream. Granny awarded him the Perpetual Trophy - a Santa Hat that he has to bring along next year for the next winner.
