I didn’t forget anything but I ditched the third stuffing due to a severe case of cba.

I forgot stuffing as well, although we had beef so it didn’t exactly go anyway!

Stuffing is the only part of Christmas dinner I actually like. I’d be devastated if I forgot it.
My husband made chips and roasties but forgot mash. No biggie for me as I don’t eat it anyway.

I’ve found my people!

I always forget something. Except I wasn’t hosting this year so it was ok. But when I am cooking, I always manage to forget something!

Forgot to serve cranberry sauce although my mum made and brought it at the back of the fridge and I don't like it so didn't even notice it was missing.

The sprouts, they are still in my fridge. I don't think anyone likes them anyway.

The DC wrote me a menu so that I wouldn’t forget anything. I was disappointed that only I wanted Yorkshire puddings so skipped them. And we skipped all the desserts as we were too full. I did forget to serve the cauliflower cheese on Boxing Day though…

Baby new potatoes (though we had tonnoes of food so not really missed )
I made Yorkshire Puddings from scratch for DS but had some Aunt Bessies on standby just in case .

I've got a bag of cooled chestnuts in the pantry but only I like them so they can wait a while .

The red cabbage. I even stayed home on Christmas Eve when everyone else went for a walk to prepare it! We ate it on 27th!

I didn’t forget anything for either of the two Christmas dinners. But I haven’t yet got around to making the tebirkes (Danish pastries) that I had planned.
