At Christmas we always went around to Nana’s on Christmas
Eve. If I remember correctly we either
opened our presents then or got them and took them home, either way presents
were involved. We all sat around and
chatted and the adults had a drink (or possibly two).
Nana always made the same toast. “Here’s to temperance” to which the reply was
always “Perish the thought”. I didn’t
know what it meant at the time but the grown-ups always laughed!!
Ha! I've never heard that toast before, but I love it and can feel the need to borrow it for this year. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've added a linky now, so I'll add you in, with grateful thanks for a story to make us smile
That's funny! Thanks for the chuckle this morning.
ReplyDeleteHappy memories.
ReplyDeletethink I might be using that quote this year too!
ReplyDeleteNana always bought (and drank!) Templar sherry and part of me thinks she chose that particular brand because she felt it had a "good Catholic" feel to it ... here's to temperance!
ReplyDeletePerish the thought :0)
DeleteWhat a fun and lovely Christmas memory x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great toast. Funny how things that went over our heads as children, have new meaning looking back.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely memory and Ruth's addition to it wonderful. My post involves a drink! Cheers.
ReplyDeleteLove your memories! The toast is great. [A fellow Christmas Club-er]
ReplyDeleteAfter the word Christmas, I immediately think of a not very pleasant situation for me. I have a tradition of giving presents to all my friends and family at Christmas, but this time I almost broke it, because I lost my job shortly before the holiday. I was not desperate and started looking for top resume reviews and found here , they are the best of their kind
