Stuffing (ready made - something fancy with nuts or fruit)
Potatoes.

Port
Christmas pudding
Brandy butter
Cream
cheeses for a cheese board (I already have crackers)
Christmas crackers (the pulling type)
More red wine
Schloer
Coke
Lemonade
Tonic water/still and sparkling water
Orange juice
Olives
Twiglets/crisps/nuts
Some ornamental fruit
decent coffee

MiLs in charge of turkey hunting, my list is

Pastries for breakfast

Prawn cocktail ingredients
Fruit kebabs for DC

Disposable oven trays
Tin foil

Goose fat
Pigs in blankets
Stuffing
Gravy

Carrots
Brussel sprouts
Parsnips

Christmas pudding
Ice cream with sauce and sprinkles
Cheesecake

Wine
Beer
Buck's Fizz
Lots of nibbles

I love looking over other people's shopping lists but I think we may be the most boring people ever. I look at all the gorgeous Christmas food and drink and then walk on by. Neither dh or I drink very much so if I buy any nice alcohol it just gets left in the cupboard until the following year. Dh does not snack AT ALL so if I bought nibbles it would be just me (try to encourage DC not to snack too) which is no fun and I also don't want to be the size of a house. We are complete creatures of habit so I will buy nice cheeses and then completely forget about them until i find them again festering at the back of the fridge.
My shopping list just looks like that of a roast dinner:
Potatoes
Carrots
Sprouts
Red cabbage
White cabbage
Bacon
Onions
Chicken thighs (to pre make gravy)
Goose fat
Cream
Sausages
Bacon

For dinner:
Potatoes
Rosemary
Goose fat
Bushy carrots
Parsnips
Honey or maple syrup
Thyme
Lemon
Broccoli
Sprouts
Pigs in blankets
Stuffing
Ready to bake yorkshires
Turkey crown
Beef joint
Lamb leg
Salt and pepper pork joint
Mint sauce
Cranberry sauce
Apple sauce
Gravy making bits

For snacks:
Mini cheddar, crisps, skittles, malteasers, celebrations, mince pies, ice cream, black forest cake, Pringles...

Drink:
J20s wkds 2 x dissorono, vodka, gin, Archers, 6 x 3lt huge cokes, lemonade, redbull, orange juice, Apple juice, champagne.

Breakfasts: sausages, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, mushrooms, beans, bread.

Misc:
Foil, disposable trays, decorative disposable serving plates, napkins.

Aaaaand that's for two of us! In our defence it lasts ages :)

It must only be me who hates left overs, I buy just enough for the meal/occasion as I don't like eating the same thing 5 days in a row. I'm waiting for my sil to give me a list of things to buy for as I offered to bring part of the meal. Not sure if I'm doing starters or puds yet but I imagine some snacks, drinks and nibbles will make it to the trolley.

For Christmas day:

Eggs
Smoked salmon
Turkey
Sprouts, parsnips & carrots
Veggie option
Pigs in blankets
Potatoes
Gravy
Cranberry
Bread sauce
Christmas pudding
Brandy sauce
Chocolate yule log
Cream
Part baked baguettes
Cheese selection
Gammon
Pickle
Cocktail sausages & sausage rolls
Salad cream
Salad

Love these lists!

Star2015 here's the gingerbread trifle recipe I'm using, however it's the first time I've used it so fingers crossed. I'm not making the custard from scratch as suggested by the recipe, I'm using good old birds from a tin. The custard has to be quite thick and I find I make my home made custard too thin and then it gets too watery.
