Christmas isn't Christmas without ........

[MrsOnyx]

..... today I bought the three things without which, to me anyway, Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas -

A copy of The Radio Times, some fresh walnuts and several bags of those chocolate coins in foil. Small things, but I just can't do Christmas without them.

Anyone else got any small, but essential Christmas "must haves"?

No radio times in this home either the tv is utter crap but then I knew it would be.

Festive drinks in my local pub
Sloe Gin
Massive Christmas Trees
Pigs in Blankets
Stollen

And those in-between days where the day consists of lying around watching telly and minesweeping the fridge...

Ooh try Becky Excell's GF biscotti recipe. It's delicious. My DS requests it frequently!

I hate cinnamon, but every Christmas recipe seems to include it. Why?

Baileys, Roses chocolates or Quality Streets, Cheese & biscuits, Cadbury's selection box, Prawn cocktail starter, Christmas Cake

There’s a saying… ‘if you’ve nothing nice to say…. Don’t say it at all..’

Chestnuts to go with the sprouts ( Teddy Bears Noses )

Watching a creepy ghost story ( I look for Mark Gatiss productions )

Lost Christmas (Eddie Izzard film)
Last Christmas (Emilia Clarke)

The Snowman loo roll

Pistachio nuts (make my fingers sore opening them though)

Oh , the competition between DH and me to be the first to hear Fairytake of New York outside in the real world .
He kept saying "I hear it every day on the radio at work" ( I don't have a radio at work)
But we heard it at Costco a couple of weeks ago .
