When do I start eating the Christmas food??!!

[redpinkgreenblue]

Serious question
We are tier 4- I have loads of Christmas snacks in. They are staring at me 👀 I keep walking past them trying to ignore them. Is it acceptable to start eating them now? I don't want to have nothing left for Christmas itself if I start now! Haha
When does everyone else start on the Christmas snacks?

Already started..i say go for it!

Last night after the announcement obv.

It was an emergency I opened the truffles.

Started on the Christmas wine last night, snacks last Wednesday.

I started last night, wine and chocolates. It was there to be shared with family and friends. Now that isn't going to happen 😢

When it gets dark on Christmas Eve, not a second earlier! Spoils the fun otherwise

We declared yesterday the first day of Christmas food.

I started beginning of the month ( although keep having to restock ). I say go for it !

4:30pm yesterday. Enough snacks for four adults at Christmas. Only two adults in the house...gotta get going!

I’m sat jnfejnt of the fire eating mince pies and debating cutting the Christmas cake. Crack on I say!!

1 December. Christmas for me is all in the run-up and anticipation. By about the 28th I'm sick of all Christmas related stuff, th dec's come down, food is finished and cleared away and by 1 Jan we are back to normality.

I'm on my second bottle of Bailey's if that's any help.

After BoJo's announcement yesterday. I've got a mountain of chocolate for my Dad that now cant get delivered to him. I've asked Mum to buy local to her when she goes shopping, and I will suffer eating mist of the rest (well, except the Ferrero Rocher, which are 🤮).
The Christmas booze got started as soon as the kids were in bed.

I,d say depends on how much food, and how many people. Their are no rules.

We started on Friday night when the school holidays began. The next two weeks off are much needed after what has been the longest term ever.

there are no rules this year.....just do what makes you happier

I've opened some of the cheeses, it's cheese, I can't resist.

Started last week as it's normally when our family meet up and have a party weekend so I said feck it!!

Crack it open 🎄

Now, everything is needed earlier this year, especially Christmas.

It's time

Ours are in a hamper in the bedroom until I finish work on the 23rd. Christmas doesn't start until then for us.

Well we are having to isolate so I’m using that as an excuse to eat snacky food!

We opened and pretty much finished the cheese and crackers today It was meant to be a light lunch as had a late breakfast!

Make a start ASAP I say!

I'm reading MN with a coffee and a mince pie. Been having either a sherry or a Bailey's since Monday. Been wondering when is a acceptable to start on the fruit cake.
