Forgive me Christmas for I have sinned

I made jacket potatoes with beans as a side for dinner tonight. Realised I had run out of cheese for topping and so I opened the Christmas cheese selection box to use the cheddar from that. Obviously using any food designated as Christmas food before Christmas is strictly forbidden! AIBU?

Tell me your Christmas sins...

listened to the posh chocolate box shouting at me from inside the goodies cupboards and ate them

Ooh, I have a posh chocolate box too. I don't need chocolate, I don't need chocolate, I don't need chocolate...

I opened the Christmas crisps last night and also made toast from the Christmas Eve sliced pan (for the ham sandwiches). Not only that but I used one of the GOOD CHRISTMAS NAPKINS to mop a minor spill. God help me. My mother would disown me.

Ten Hail Marys and five Our Fathers should have me covered hopefully.

Oh god we've already had two tubs of heros and loads of cheese. If it's December it's fair game I reckon.

I have completely sacked off the final declutter and tidying. I'll do the Christmas Eve beds tomorrow and washing up but IDGAF about an Insta Christmas I'm just all about the fun now. Let the good times roll.

Something about eating numerous packets of crackers and an entire jar of pickle too, but that was always going to happen.

I opened the "Christmas chocolates" last weekend 😂 In my defence, DP bought a large box of Roses AND a large box of Heroes, and declared them both to be "the Christmas chocolates" and then put them on a high shelf in the kitchen. I decided we didn't need two Christmas chocolates. He still doesn't know as I've left the box in situ but eaten at least half since last weekend 😂

Love it!

Now the good cheese is open I don't rate it's chances of making it to Christmas day 😂

I made two dozen mince pies this morning and now there are only 12 left and I feel queasy.
I can't understand it 🤔

Possibly you are suffering from mince pie withdrawal? When did you last have a mince pie?

Devoured an entire large jar of pickled onions.

Noooo, stop it, I won't be tempted, oh sh!t, another one just jumped into my hand, arghhhhh........

NameChagaiiiin · 23/12/2022 21:04

Misses point of thread but you had Jackets with cheese and beans as a side dish? What was the main event?

Also I've eaten 3 tubs of heroes since December started. My DH doesn't know as I just keep replacing the tub on my online shop. He's at work all day and I'm on mat leave
Hoping the baby doesn't grass me up

Damn those mince pies and their terrible deliciousness! I'm not sure it counts as a sin if the food forces itself into your hand...maybe...

I’m not discussing how many tubs of quality street have been consumed during advent 🤐but Christmas goodies are fair game on Christmas Eve Eve in my book.

Let the eating commence continue !

Eaten half the festive snack mix from Aldi. It's addictive

It was going to be the main but the potatoes that arrived were tiny so I served them with sausages.

Also you are my hero and I am so doing this next year!

After reading these I definitely don't feel guilty about eating my bag of chocolate coins 2 days early!

Just the one? I've eaten at least three boxes of posh chocolates already, and two of them were presents I shouldn't have been unwrapping, let alone sampling.

An ex colleague made me laugh when she said she'd never been interested in mince pies tol she joined Weight Watchers and was given a list of banned (not sure how it was phrased) Christmas foods, mince pies being high on the list.
She saud she immediately became fascinated by mince pies and has been eating them ever since.

The working week is done. It is officially open season on Christmas goodies.

AdoraBell · 23/12/2022 21:09

Quality Street tub demolished a month ago, ditto an entire Stollen.

I’m not even hanging my head in shame 😁🎅

VladmirsPoutine · 23/12/2022 21:11

I've replaced at least one tub of Celebrations!!

Taswama · 23/12/2022 21:11

DP cracked open the posh cheese biscuits at lunchtime and I ate some smoked salmon I'd bought for Christmas that went out of date yesterday 🙄 !

Zombiemum1946 · 23/12/2022 21:12

Said I was sicker than I was to get out of eating the stuffing dh spent 2 days making (at my request). Then binged on sprouts and gravy when he went to bed
