I hunted out all the Christmas presents I have bought so far and sorted them all out to see what I have got for everyone. I seem to be in good shape so far. Have a number of gift cards to buy and am waiting for a couple of things to go on sale before I buy them!!!! I have to say that's one good thing I love about Canada, most things tend to go on sale at one time or another!
I have made a decision about one thing though, there is no yearly newsletter going out with the Christmas cards this year. I want as stress free a Christmas as possible and writing that newsletter every year just adds to the stress.
I am not a fan of vegetable drinks, the whole thing is icky to me. So when I saw the new V8 drink that incorporates vegetables in a fruit tasting drink I thought I would give it a go.
My impression of it.......I don't know, it wasn't totally unpleasant, it was just a bit thick for me and the taste wasn't as "fruity" as I would have liked.
Are you a fan of those vegetable juices?
I was looking through an old post and thought it was interesting, here it is
I am a British born, living in Canada since May of 1989. My blog is about all aspects of my daily life.

I'm not a fan of the V8 drinks at all, but there is a company called "NAKED" (no joke) that makes wonderful drinks. They have a website called nakedjuice.com where you can see a drink called "Green Machine". It is as green as the grass on your lawn. But I have tried it, and it is absolutely yummy. Supposedly there is even some broccoli in it! I don't know if it is available in Canada, but if you see it in a store, it is worth a try!
Haven't given Christmas a thought yet. My head still thinks it is the summer.
My mum loves the vegetable juices. I can't bear the thought of them though I do like tomato juice now and again.
Vegetable juices?
DIS GUST ING!!!
And what is this Clamato? Tomato and clam juice....blech, blech, blech!

PS Christmas....really need to get started on making things.
OK...I seem to be a minority but I like veg drinks. Haven't had any in a long while because I like the real veg better. and the juices are full of salt. But, I like them better than fruit juice. Which is a funny thing to say since the tomato base would be a fruit, right?
Rock on with your Christmas preparations. I am impressed!
I've tried those and don't care for them. I prefer plain ole tomato juice, not the V8 stuff.
A nice one to try is Arthur's Green Energy Smoothie - very yummy, a little pricey though.
I'm pretty organized for Christmas, I have about half of my presents bought so far!
As for vegetbale drinks, I've always liked them and vegetable-fruit drinks as well!
Christmas and organized . . . . . . in the same breath!?!?!?!?!
I am Happy to say ,I am finished with my Christmas gifts. I shope yr. around and when the Season arrives its stress free:o)
I do like veggie drinks.
Have a great day!

Organised for Christmas. Aaagghhh! The thought of it coming already. I suppose I ought to start thinking about it. Thank you, Gill, I am going to do it this year instead of leaving it to the last minute! :)
I have not even thought about christmas!
bloody hell its ONLY AROUND the corner!!!
Christmas? Presents? Just surviving the holiday periods is enough a present for us. Rhonda will be working Christmas and New Year public Holidays to let colleagues with families have Christmas and the younger ones celebrte New Year.
Juices - not a fan of them, I'd rather feast on fresh fruit.
This year I am organised. I have bought the Christmas cards and shall be making my Christmas cake next week. I have given in and there will be a round robin letter as I do not have the time to write individual letters.
I realllly dislike those drinks. I expected them to be like a fruity smoothie, I think, but they're just not quite right.
As for Christmas, I haven't bought anything yet but i do have a few hundred dollars of free gift cards that I earned from points programs!! I am very excited and am aiming to have a nearly-free Christmas this year!
Hello Gill
Not a big fan of those juices - Dh's aunt in Nova Scotia was trying the cranberry/somethingor other when we were there the other week, she loved it but it didn't do a thing for me. Each to their own I suppose
Chistmas is coming - sometime and it's going to arrive whether we are ready or not. We've decided it will be cashless Christmas pressies this year as all the grandchildren have mentioned store cards. I get to pick which stores so they don't go and blow the gift on something we might not think suitable
Take care
Cathy
I wouldn't be a fan of cold veggie juice Gill but I do love home made veg soup liquidised and drunk from a mug.
I have given some thought to Christmas but that is far as it has gone so far although I have been looking at cards!
I have also been looking at cards too but that is as far as I go. I don't go all out for Christmas, can't afford to so shopping is low key and mostly gift cards, those I do buy for are super fussy and love gift cards anyhow.
