I have:

cheese (why do I always buy cheese at Christmas eh? I have a pack of Wendsleydale to eat with cake) which brings me to...

cake- fruitcake and some ice/marzipanned (small bit)

stollen (Aldi) still in date

mince pies (not in date)

Quality Street

savoury crackers

some deli bits for the Boxing Day Pizzas that didn't blardy well work because the dough sat there stubbornly refusing to rise Hmm

Pretty good this year because I bought much less than last year, Lessons Learned 'n' all that Xmas Wink

I've still got:
Half a christmas cake
6 mince pies
Leubkuken
Quality Street
Bendicks Mint Chocolate
Party Nibbles - 99p from Aldi...I insisted on having them Hmm

We've got loads of present chocolate left, MrD is very happy that we had amaretti biscuits and lindt chocolate again...I hate both with a passion!

I cut back for Christmas 2016 and will do so again for Christmas 2017.

I have a bag of chocolate coins, half a box of biscuits and a complete 5" Christmas cake with marzipan and icing. I'm on a low carb diet

I had more - crackers, pate, chicken skewers and some other savoury bits and bobs but the DC had a "party food" dinner one night when DH and I were away Xmas Grin

Just found 17 chocolate toffee eclairs from a box of Cadbury things that no one will probably eat and
13 champagne truffles from my advent calendar 😁 in the fridge
(I'm not really a chocolate person)
I've have however just finished off the last cheese, crackers and red onion marmalade . Yum 😊

Tin of Celebrations and some Quality Street
Cheese
Pavlova
Viennetta
Possibly some mini pizzas (Can't remember! lol)

All in the downstairs freezer and cupboard. Have started a diet/lifestyle change so hopefully, out of sight, out of mind! It's worked so far... Xmas Grin

Tub each of Celebrations and Heroes
4 boxes of Matchmakers
Box of After Eights
2 Chocolate Oranges
Half a tin of chocolate mint selection
2 tubs of cheese footballs
Box of crackers (to have with cheese)

That's just stuff we bought. We were given various chocolates/sweets as presents as well! I finished the Christmas cake yesterday (that didn't even get opened, so I've eaten the entire thing myself in the last couple of weeks as DP doesn't like it). No wonder I'm not back to my pre-Christmas weight yet!

A wedge of Christmas cake (normal - my record for having leftover Christmas cake is July).

The coconut ones out of a tub of Quality Street - no one in my family likes coconut, so they'll probably end up in the bin.

A bag of Christmas pasta, because we only needed one after plans changed, this will get used up soon though

Other than that it's pretty much just boxes and tins of shortbread which we got as presents, and one box of chocolates that was a present

We normally buy far too much, we cut down last year but this year we barely bought anything sweet really and didn't go overboard on savoury stuff. We didn't notice anything missing though, so it's not like we did without. Now we just need to stay controlled in future years

when I say we threw it out, the birds could barely get up in the air after eating the stollen and the pannetone was 18 months old yet l tasted it before giving to the boirds and it tasted lovely lol

Absolutely bugger all. Anything that was left come the 2nd Jan got binned (opened chocolates, cakes or biscuits), frozen (cheese) or donated (unopened non perishables).

Nothing (we can't stand mince pies, Christmas cake or Christmas pudding, so we sent my dad home with it all). The chocolate Yule log didn't last long with me though.
