Christmas food shopping lists - and other essentials

[Mercy]

Can we start one please? Am feeling particularly uninterested this year and so far have only got about 6 items on my list. I promised myself I would be more organised this time round - not happening so far.

List can include other Christmas stuff too, like making decorations (that's the bit I usually enjoy tbh)

I haven't bought any cards or presents yet either - eeek!

Wow! You're definately leaving it late eh?!
I spent a day with DD1 making paper chains out of old wrapping paper, they're the best thing we've got up now LOL
Also, how about collecting some lengths of ivy and edging the leaves with glitter/glue, I've found it's great fun to do in the evening and then had DD1 come down in the morning to see it all new and sparkly (and out of reach! )

General ingredients for pastry and lots of mincemeat, custard, cream and lots and lots of sherry

I'm feeling soooo Xmassy, but I'm rubbish at actually getting sorted (mainly cos we go to the IL's), it'll be good to actually have a list going here!
