Show me your Christmas fridges!

[MakeTeaNotWar]

I haven't seen this thread yet and it's one I enjoy - the annual game of fridge jenga!

Here is ours - no meat in there yet so not sure where that is going to fit 😬

There is lots of booze & juice as well as prawn cocktail, squirty cream & double cream, red cabbage, Savoy cabbage, sprouts, a gazillion cheeses

Are the prepping threads we have been inundated with all year also crass and distasteful?

@alltinselandbaubles

This has been the worst year of my life..... but I managed to make Christmas lovely for my children....

And that's lovely for you and your children but there are families out there who can't make it lovely for their children, children who will have no xmas lunch, no xmas presents and it'll just be another, dismal day.

Omg what???? Are you for real 😟

You literally have no idea 🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyway I'll leave you to it.

Probably for the best.

Hint: the board is clearly labelled above the first post.

Did I see bread in someone's fridge? Used to have a huge fridge and changed it last year. So just balancing everything in and hoping for the best - Having to put the fruit and veg in the garage.

One shelf filled with Xmas dinner.

We studied a wealthy philosopher in Latin class called Seneca. Once a year he would retreat to a room in his house, made specifically for this purpose, to live like a "peasant" for a few days. I studied this 15 years ago now so the details are fuzzy, but his bed was just a plank of wood, lived on bread and water, you get the idea. He thought he was getting down with the people, being stoical, and staying humble, but we all agreed it was tremendously patronising in reality, because he obviously just went straight back to his privilege until next year. I suspect @formerbabe is Seneca reincarnated a full fridge on a thread that's a yearly tradition is not crass. There's plenty of privilege that you have and take for granted that millions of others do not. Dragging people down after a shit year is crass.

Love these pics! Mine seems to go down though within a day! With the 2 DC and dh and me eating all the mince pies.
What I don't get is why people can't just jog on from a post they don't like? Or don't click on it in the first place? Why dampen the mood of someone trying to lift peoples spirits? Baffling but guess it says more about them than the op.

Anyway I'll leave you to it.

Tootle pip! Don't let the fridge door smack you on the arse on the way out.

Meat in the freezer. Booze kept outside where it is colder than the fridge at the moment.

Love the pictures.

@guesswhosbac

Not the tidiest as we didn't get back from shopping until 10 last night so just shoved it all in but here you go!

What are chicken doughnut dippers?? Are they like an onion ring... but made of chicken??

😂 love how you have used ancient philosophy to explain a Mumsnet troll.

I don’t put half that in my fridge. Butternut squash, onions in the veg basket, oranges in the fruit basket.

Maybe that’s why these fridges looks so full....

Here's mine

All ready here too

@TheTiersOfAClownAKABoris

Goodness the way this thread has descended has made me very thankful there wasn't a Show Me Your Hanukkah Fridge...imagine!

I would love to see a Hannukkah Fridge! (Or two, if you are very observant!)

Here's mine, not booze, meat or veg yet so not sure how that will go!
@cindylouwhosplaits I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps Arla in business through their lacto free range

This is the only one that remotely represents mine, this is proper tetris.

That's really sweet of you to single out one particular poster (me) to take the piss out of...and apparently I'm the unreasonable one.

Ours

My fridge isn’t that exciting but I’ve got a massive cardboard box at the back of the garage filled with drinks both boozy and soft. Makes me happy 😃

Is that a tin of spam in the fridge? 😊

@plonque Anyway I'll leave you to it.*

That proper made me lol

@Duggeehugs82 My gran used to keep spam in the fridge or pek if she was feeling flush - and tuna?? So odd

She used to proper struggle with the fridge jenga at crimbo - just move the sealed tins gran!!

@BronwenFrideswide - you don't need to keep trying to convince me it's bragging. Plenty of people have explained they do not see it as bragging and why. Just accept not everyone thinks the same as you. If the title 'show me you Christmas fridges' really didn't enable you to know what the thread was about as soon as you see the first post and realise it's not for you - you can stop reading. That is taking responsibility for yourself and setting boundaries. You can do this if the thread upsets you or makes you feel bad. There is absolutely no need to doggedly try and ruin the thread for others. It quite clearly will say at the top of the thread it is the Christmas board and yes you are most welcome to hide it. How have I made others feel shit? I have explained we don't have a lot but we make the best of it. I feel happier trying to join in with the spirit of Christmas rather than criticising people and spoiling a thread they are enjoying. I can't compete with these fridges but no it doesn't make me feel crap but your constant misery...that's really spoiling my mood. You're so quick to criticise others but yet you don't see how you're making people feel crap yourself!
