We've hosted Christmas for the past couple of years, but with my parents, not DH's, and my DM, bless her, always brings loads of stuff, and my family aren't really drinkers apart from the baileys so it hasn't been too expensive. This year we're having DH's family, and I don't really feel I can demand that they virtually self cater as my family do, so we need to start buying stuff so we're not stung for a mahoosive food bill in December.
So, what can I buy now and store in the garage/chest freezer? I'm thinking the odd bottle of wine/fizz/beer (his family aren't exactly alcoholics, but mine are virtually tee total, so no idea how much! Will be 6 adults), but what food? My brain is not in Christmas mode and I can't even think what we normally end up having over Christmas. Our guests will be here from Christmas Eve until at least the 27th, possibly 28th for SIL/BIL and their children.
