Anyone else not had a single mince pie (yet) this Christmas

[SantasBritchesSpelleas]

It occurred to me that I haven't had a mince pie this Christmas!

Normally I'd be in the office where you can't move for the things, and I'd have got some in for my parents who usually visit. Working from home and with no visitors to the house, no mince pies have crossed my path. I can't say I have missed them much.

Anyone else not had a mince pie - or not had anything else you normally eat/drink without thinking at Christmas?

No mince pies yet, but did have stollen bites and advocat last night to celebrate finishing work !

No mince pies here either!

No, but only because I can't stand them!

I'll eat them if I Jimmy off the top and scoop out the filling. Dh looks at me like I'm the devil.

I have a pack of mini mince pies for Christmas Day. I have woofed down the mini stollen bites

No, but only because I can't stand them!

I don't really like them that much, but I'm terrible for eating rubbish just because it's there .

NO me neither

We have however been laying into the wine with such enthusiasm we’ve had to top up twice

Ha ha! My 'Christmas' Amaretto bought in late November has already been drunk. I refuse to buy myself any more.

Me! Have totally abstained despite daily offers.
Halo might slip tonight though!

No. I have 12 sitting in the cupboard and brandy butter in the fridge. But can't find time to actually sit down to eat the damn things.

No mince pies here. They are a social Christmas food for me. People bring them to the office, have them at parties and events. Bit sad there’s been zero opportunity for one, I never buy them myself.

No mince pies. But already opened cheese and crackers.

I'm not a huge fan but yes normally I would have had one at a Carol service or "out" at something christmassy. I made some yday because it's kind of the law to have 1.

Nope, because I hate them. No Christmas cake or pudding this year either. But I’ve a fuckton of cheese to be eaten from tomorrow!

God, I've had tons!

Me neither, I went sugar, grain and dairy free in July so not only no mince pies but nothing 'Christmassy' at all really.

No ... I really fancy one but DH wouldn't eat any, so the rest would be wasted.

Nope. But I can't stand the bloody things.

I have been quite restrained this Christmas. Usually we are cracking open the Baileys and sweets on December 1st. Then having to top up again. I didn't even buy any cheese because I just felt so 'meh' about it all. After last weekend, I did panic buy a load of cheese, half of which has already gone. The baileys and sweets got cracked open too. Thankfully we have another 3 bottles, thanks to DHs organisation skills

But then I'm okay with it. This year's Christmas is a blip. Everything is weird and eating a solitary mince pie on my own in the flat isn't quite the same as an office bring-and-share thing!

Most Christmas treats I just want the occasional one of, and DS won't eat them, so I don't buy them.

I made mince pie brownies for a change this year. Nice for a change :)

Nope . Revolting sweet things 🤮

Not a single mince pies has passed these lips, but I have eaten half a Christmas pud, swimming in cream. Tis the season and all that.....

Not yet. I'm not a big fan of them. We have a pack bought, and will probably eat those tonight with some mulled wine.

I made some yesterday. Should get round to icing the cake today. We’re three days into our cocktail a day marathon. Mojito, sidecar and martini so far. And three days into the board game and cards tournament, thankfully we got monopoly out of the way last night.
