Everything to do with XMAS!

Oh--that sound just wonderful Gabe! Some work function party you had, we usually meet up at the local water hole--paint creek tavern for a beer and a turkey burger!

You can't beat an old castle for getting you in the Christmas spirit complete with mulled wine and Meade!

That sounds wonderful, Gabe...too bad we don't have Castles on my side of town here! ?

The delivery man just dropped off my candy from Williams and Sonoma. One will be part of a gift for my aunt and uncle and the other will be for my hubbie and I!

Perhaps we could hold an iPF forum do there? Leeds Castle is a lovely place.

Hey . . . if we are all going to a drafty and likely haunted place, it will be at my Ancestor's place. It is called Maxey Castle. I would like to invite you to Maxey Castle, but I probably do not have the right to do so. I suppose we could storm the castle like vikings.

"Maxey Castle was built around the 1370s by William Thorpe near the village of Maxey. The castle had a double-moat, possibly designed as a flood defense, with a central keep within a bailey wall with corner towers. Today only the partial remains of the moats survive of the castle, which have scheduled monument status."
Maxey Castle (The Gatehouse Record)

I guess I would have been someone in 1370. I always thought I was a viking, but efforts to prove have been in vain.

We do, except my family doesn't have that as part of our Christmas dinner! However, by the sounds of it...is sounds delish!
