At what point is it acceptable to....

[TwistedChristmas]

Get out the Christmas chocolates and chocolate biscuits?

I usually resist until Christmas Eve as otherwise they'd be gone in a couple of days and I don't have the funds to replace them all.

When do you open yours? And what do you have?

I've restricted myself to one tub of Quality Street which are my childhood favourite, 2 boxes of M&S chocolate biscuits, 2 boxes of After 8 Mints, and my big splash this year: a jar of Montezumas buttons.

DD tore open the box of Heroes on Sinday.
I emptied a box of those Malteaser Truffles into a glass bob-bon jar to look pretty (they do ) we keep dipping into them.

I think testing them is a very important part of the process, otherwise how would you know which mince pies/ chocolates/ Bailey’s style drink will be the most delicious?

I must be really miserable, I don’t buy them.

About 2 weeks ago...?!

I’ve already finished two boxes of Bendicks bitter mints & three tubs of Cheesy Footballs (why are they so moreish) and I didn’t share .

I always say I have to 'audition' Christmas goodies...so anytime in December

1st December here! We're enjoying testing everything!

Dh bought 18 750ml bottles of Pepsi max for Christmas. There are 2 left, he drank them all. I have opened 2 boxes of all butter mince pies, i had nothing in for dessert so opened them.

I do try to keep them until xmas eve or else it's a month of eating shite instead of 2 weeks.

I have Belgian choc biscuits, cadburys choc biscuits, after eights, raphaellos (so?) 2 boxes of tayto, all stashed upstairs.

We started the 1st December !

Oh god....we're about to open the choc christmas biscuits in desperation as nothing else nice

DS and i have ploughed through 3 bags of orange Daim bars in the last two weeks as I keep filling up my decorative red glass dish on the table for Christmas guests.

we haven't had any guests

I’ve secretly opened the mini cheddars tub already and now regretting it as I couldn’t get a replacement tub in my online shopping .

We’re not spending Christmas here, so got to wait for 28th December to buy all the nice bits and bobs. Counting down the days!

I’ve been eating mince pies every day for two weeks now

We start when everyone has finished school/ work.

Yep a box of hero's and 2 boxes of Maltesers done!

Opened some today

I’m half way through a box of celebrations as I type

I didn't know this was a thing!

1st December here, we have eaten a tin of Celebrations and a tin of Quality Street already. Whoops

When the tree goes up November 20th this year

We haven't bought anything yet! Advent chocolates are keeping us going

1st of December, but I bring them out in stages or else DH would just eat them all. Out of sight, out of mind.

You lot have no self control!

Have one tub of roses and tub of heros, three packs large crisps snacks. 1 tin shortbread. 1 big box cadburys fingers (6 packets inside).

We have eaten one packet of the chocolate fingers but will not open anymore until at least Christmas Eve

I Started the chocolates when I was putting tree up and wrapping presents at the weekend
