Last night the LOLA office was filled with Christmas cheer as Santa released one of his elves from a night shift to cook us a wonderful Christmas dinner in the 3rd round of our dining contest.
A crackling fire (thanks You Tube), fairy lights and holly painted the perfect picture for a cosy start to the dinner. Ably assisted by her helper, our little LOLA Elf (we’ll call her Frosty….) served up a delicious bruschetta starter followed by a perfectly presented chicken and mushroom risotto with a sprinkling of parmesan.
It was then time for some Secret Santa - and in the absence of the man himself Frosty the Elf filled in and handed out some fabulous pressies most of which came within the £5 budget. For the second year running, one particular Secret Santa even managed to come in WELL under budget. Thanks Secret Scrooge.
Special mention to the home baked cookies, the Pounland make up set and the ‘Happy Horse.’
Following a dessert of meringue, fruit and cream, Frosty’s helper finally got to let her hair down with her new karaoke machine. The rendition of ‘Say You’ll be There’ was moving.
Eventually the lights came on and we all left the building while some old man in an Anorak sang Fleetwood Mac to himself.
A worthy 3rd round contender for the prize. All eyes are now on round 4 where the competition gets its first look at the favourite……….
