What's your Christmas first world problem?

[Squarerootofpi]

Three supermarkets and not one of them had normal mince pies. They all had something dodgy added like icing, frangipani, marzipan, brandy butter or some other weirdness. I may write to my mp.

I am a very bad colleague!

I have just opened a bag of celebrations at work. They are not mine. They are for all the reception staff. I have put it on top of my bag of snacks. Oops. I will have to buy some now!

Least you have someone to blame I've only myself to blame for forgetting mine 😀

I’m feeling a bit mean for having bought (and just wrapped) separate little treat presents for Gdcs’ 4 cats, but only one small one - a tin of sweetcorn - between them, for their 4 chickens.

Oh! You are as bad as me! I have just opened a pouch of celebrations which was meant for ALL the receptionists, not just me!! I will have to buy another!

That for the fifth year running I'm spending it with my mil and not my own family as dhs siblings won't visit her over Christmas.

Next year I'm going to see my own family, and literally force them to deal with it.

My chickens keep bloody laying them. Can't keep up. Luckily MIL bakes so she'll use a load!

The Christmas packet that my mum posted us three weeks ago still hasn't arrived and there's no Royal Mail delivery today.

Decided to treat myself to a rare beer whilst wrapping presents last night.

Spilt nearly the whole pint all over the carpet!

Guests cancelled (with good reason) so have enough food for six people for four days for DH and I. Unpacking freezer as I type to refill with Turkey and Ham

As far as first world problems go, this one wins 😂

just remembered boxing day vegetarians!
no left over meat for them
off to get a quiche
supermarket was dreadful last night, no walnuts, no mincepies, no satsumas, no biscuits for cheese, total scandal

Iceland or the coop!!

Long story because it's just happened and I'm feeling v sorry for myself: DS has wanted a zombie mini-arcade toy that he saw in B&M a couple months ago, I managed to get it but now he knows.

It actually sold out quickly, and DP/I visited several B&Ms repeatedly to see if they'd have it in stock again, with no luck. I finally found an Amazon seller who had one, and wasn't charging £30+ for what had been £10-12, and successfully got one. I was so happy, as he had been mentioning the toy since and it's been really hard to think of something to truly surprise and delight him this Christmas.

I'm expecting a different delivery today, and was frantically tracking the time on it while we were out for swimming lessons, and DS (unbeknownst to me) was peering over my shoulder and spotted my order history! I'm pretty sure he saw the toy order as he did a little gasp, so I'm just fuming (have told him before not to be nosy) and upset it's not a surprise anymore, boo fucking hoo

So that is why I had no luck yesterday getting eggs! LTB!

I ate too much for breakfast and am suffering from a premature food coma

We have a subscription to Radio Times, but the postal strikes means that our Christmas issue still hasn't arrived. DH cracked yesterday and shelled out £5.25 for the last copy in the shop.

What to do!

The F & M Cognac butter can only get better with age so will be great anytime. (This is just a guess so don't hold me to this!). 🤣

Didn't get the cat a problem. Also don't have chocolate coins (DD used them in Xmas cards for her friends). I should go and hunt for some but I cba.

*present not problem.

Not enough room in my fridge for my Prosecco as too much food .

I was going to Sainsbury's for cheese. Then I passed a farm shop and bought it there. Loads of parking and lovely assistants, but I got mud on my boot. Luckily they also had a boot scraper!

Love this 😊

Man, I miss throwing stuff at my dad at Christmas.

No one ever in the history of the World could make choosing, eating and crumpling the wrapper of a Quality Street so bloody noisy.

With my dad I miss him criticising how I peel veg. 🤣 honestly, he only did it because he knew it annoyed me and it was always a laugh.

Th bugger bloody died though. So now I just tell myself off for doing veg wrong!
