What's the one thing you always forget at Christmas?

[ithinkmycatistryingtokillme]

For us it was always chocolate coins for the stockings, we'd get to Christmas Eve and realise we hadn't got any.

I always forget that it's just one day and that it doesn't have to be perfect to be good.

To buy cranberry sauce and then forget to serve it up.

I always forget something non-Christmassy that it an everyday life essential, then can’t get it on the day, eg toilet roll, foil, toothpaste etc.

I know there's something. Can't remember what though, ask me again this time next week .

@expletive I have the same feeling, there's always something

Crackers!

Cards for dd1+2 is another, too busy getting presents

Cheese board. Buy it, overeat at dinner, forget about it and then start gloomily at fancy cheese til March and throw it away. Haven't got one this year.

We buy readymade, frozen pigs in blankets and find them in the freezer a few weeks later!

Crackers.
One year it was the turkey though and the world STILL didn't end.

I had 4 mins left to add stuff to my Tesco delivery when I remembered
Sprouts
Cream ( for Yule log)
Pringles
And
Yorkshire puddings ( to fill with left overs on boxing day )

If I haven't got it now I am going without.

I hope you remembered to all the way through checkout, I've forgotten before now and one box of lager delivered instead of everything I added

Enough butter. By the time mashed tats have been made and roast are slathered in oven with it etc etc etc

I didn’t realise I was out of peppercorns one Christmas when I was hosting and remote so no neighbours to pop round to (not that they would have answered the door if mn is to be believed!). We used some cayenne and discovered that nutmeg is really good grated on rather unexpected foods !

My youngest brother! I'm so busy buying presents for the actual kids in the family that I forget the man-child

I always forget something is in the oven. Maybe something cooking or just in there to keep warm while I am plating up. I'll be eating and a niggling feeling will prod my Bucks Fizzed brain and I'll call out, 'peas and bacon!' or 'stuffing!'

I once forgot oil to roast the potatoes.I just presumed we had some. That was annoying.

To water the tree. Not done it since we put it up last week. Must remember to do it in the morning...

What day of the week it is.

One year I ran out of sello tape on Christmas Eve with still loads of wrapping to do. Drove round all the soon closing supermarkets, petrol stations etc but couldn't get any. I stock up early now.

To buy myself s stocking.

Paper plates for Boxing Day buffets, we have a house full, and I usually end up borrowing my mums plates and having loads of washing up!

I forgot chocolate coins, DH going out this weekend to grab some and some last little bit.

Ill forget something, definitely but I dont know what as im currently in the status of it being forgotten (it will stay like that till I need it at the most inconvenient time lol).

I don't usually forget to buy things, but I frequently forget to serve them. Quite frequently come back from afternoon dog walk to the smell of scorching stuffing (or parsnips, or pigs in blankets) that I left in the oven whilst serving the meat and then just forgot about.

They are fine served on Boxing Day, with the black bits scraped off, though.

I always forget to put the cooked pigs in blankets onto the plates. I shove them in the top oven to keep warm, then forget to take them out.
