[MorticiaAnnSpookington]

or is it just traditional to have them knocking around the house in case ?

Mmmm, cheesy footballs, haven't had them for years. But if we did have them at Christmas, I would definitely eat them. I start hoovering food down about 7am on Christmas day and don't stop until somewhere around Jan 8th...

actually,I would eat the cheese footballs

LOL

I don't think I've eaten a cheesy football since I was a child!

What's a cheesy football?

My husband LOVES dates!

my mum used to get me to de-skin almonds every Christmas Eve and put them out with those lovely muscatel raisins...mmm,they were nice. My friend's family always had Chinese Figs,which are jellied fig sweets I think..never touched them though.

I like the liquers, you bite into one and all the juice falls onto your chin

cheesy footballs are wafery balls with a weird cheesy filling -

mmmm eat me dates

I usually eat enough of those to make myself feel thoroughly nauseous with all the sickly sweetness

tis all part of Christmas imo

mum used to have Mon Cheri

I love liqueur chocolates. Give me a box of Famous Names and a Yuletide episode of Only Fools and Horses and I'm a happy bunny...

I will not, will not have a word said against the deliciousness that is the cheese football. Awesome.

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese balls.

advocaat anyone ?

my mum does the dates

Not on its own, MAS, but as a Snowball? In a Babycham glass, with a cherry? Now you're talking.

Was just about to mention eggnog.

And Meltis New Berry Fruits.

It is the law, however, to have something in one's mouth at all times on Christmas Day.

Or some Blue Nun?

oooh,snowballs !

creme de menthe

Black Tower for me, Mercy. Goes nice with the prawn ring [posh]

Turkish delight !
My mum usually buys me rose and violet creams too,which I adore

Being in Scotland, my Dad used to make sure everyone had a single malt in their hand by 10.30am! TOO much!

Shall I open the Ritz crackers?
