We really need a reaction!

It does. Just for my posts.
I think we should petition the management for a snexxer emoji.

Is this the wrong place to say I can’t stand marzipan?

 

[TiedbyChris]

Is everyone at Christmas Eve parties?

I wish!

Having a few pints in one of my favourite pubs before wandering back to my mum’s & maybe, just maybe, watching a midnight Carol service.

That still sounds fun! I’m sitting here, still technically at work, having my second beer

I have to admit, I don’t think I had marzipan when I was in Denmark, but I have been to the marzipan museum in Budapest & yeah, I’m not a fan.

It’s fine as a layer of Christmas cake but a bar of it on itself……

Ah yes, the time difference? What time (locally) do you get to log off & open the Baileys?

Oh god as a kid I'd eat a whole block on its own.

It’s 4:30 here, so I have half an hour until I can log off. The drinking started a little early as I think I’m the only one working!

Layered with nougat.. it melts in your mouth!

Or dipped in chocolate and decorated with sugared violets.. yup, that is good!!

Many moons ago, one Christmas Eve, I was in an offsite office of about 70 staff & the majority legged it after lunch when our local manager left for the airport. As I lived quite close, I told the others to go too so when the COO called at 3.30 to say we could leave early at 4, I had to pretend I was telling everyone . I’d been the only person in the building for over 2 hours.

Oh don’t worry - I called that favour in many times afterwards

I used to make the Jule sweets with my grandparents when I was a child.. doing the confectionery, filled dates in chocolate, marcipan sweets and so on.

I might, miiiiight have tasted more than I actually produced, so one year they said: Sweetie, just eat until you are full! No need to ask permission.

...... Well, it took me years, and years before I was able to be around confectionery products again. Ugh, my poor stomach!
(They did the same with the browned potatoes.. Their way of raising me was pretty much based consequences, I learnt it the hard way. )
