Things you buy at Christmas only yet are available all year

Shloer for us plus coke in glass bottles

A TV Guide.
Smoked salmon

I feel like Advocat is having a resurgence this year, it’s everywhere!

I remember separate tv and radio times. My grandparents had a fake leather binder for them!

I buy radio times, Bailey’s, champagne, turkey, pigs, Xmas pudding, bread sauce, red cabbage, cranberry.

I spent several decades highlighting programmes to watch/negotiate/record in Radio Times. It seemed to be late into the shops this year, or maybe it is the day that Christmas falls.

We've just bought our second ££ paper newspaper of the year to get the TV guide.

I'm more interested about radio listings these days, TBH.

Not buy, but making pigs in blankets. We all love them, but it never occurs to me to make them any other time.

I made the mistake of buying the Radio times in the supermarket without looking at the price. That's one Christmas tradition that won't be happening next year.
