    OK, so what Christmas stuff did you eat so far? Would've posted yesterday but too stuffed to move! Didn't start on anything Christmassy until Christmas eve, and then it was a mini mince pie and ice cream, saving room for the big day itself. So, for Chrimbo dinner had leek and cheese tartlet, (vegetarian) veg, stuffing, yorshire pud and gravy, and spudes, mash and roasties. Christmas pud and cream for afters, and christmas cake in the evening. A few Heroes sweets and I was stuffed!

    A load more Christmas stuff to get through so will see how today goes :pac:

    meant to buy a box of these and forgot :(

    Couldn't face another big dinner today (we're having another 'Christmas day' on wednesday when another family member is back form the UK) so had a salad sarnie with stuffing in, very tasty. Followed by Chrsitmas pud and custard, and a piece of yule log :pac:

    My Christmas box of Quality street only made it December 20th. Oops.
    (Luckily I still had a tin of roses, ferreros, lindt, after eights, a big box of chocolate kimberlies, a selection box and two chocolate Santas to get me through the rest of the festive season..) :D

    Oh apart from the QS, we've a box of Roses, box of Lindt chocolates, box of Butlers chocolates, box of Caffreys Teacakes, some chocolate kimberley, two boxes of walnut whips, box of cadbury biscuits, a few large toblerones, some selection boxes, tubes of sweets (minstrels/fruitpastilles/etc.), christmas cake, christmas pudding, chocolate biscuit cake and a few tubs of icecream about the house so I think anyone who's looking for something will find it haha :)
    My dad does this thing where 'they're for Christmas' so we can't open most stuff til it's pretty much Christmas!!

    My house is like that, with the result that it's usually the start of January before all the Christmas food has been devoured! :p

    We had king prawn to start followed by turkey, ham, spiced beef and goose along with the usual veg. Then it was meringue and cream for dessert and of course a box of chocolates was demolished too. I am still full. Could only manage a cold plate today and am moulded to the couch. I might try getting dressed tomorrow:)

    We ordered pizza on Christmas eve - nothing Christmassy at all!

    On Christmas day we were up at 6.30 to get to my home place in time for pressie opening. Even though I don't live at home any more I was STILL the one who woke everyone on Christmas morning. :D

    So a brekkie of tomatoes and toast, a coconut macaroon, and a tiny glass of red wine when our uncle visited at 9am. Then dinner was a huge plate of the usual (only quorn instead of turkey and ham). Then a slice of lemon and lime pie and some more wine. I was so full then so no more food until about 10pm and a lovely quorn and croquette leftover sandwich with onion relish and cheese and another coconut macaroon.

    Yesterday I had a meringue when I got up, but it's ok, I made it healthy with berries.........

    Then dinner was in mammy-in-laws. She's an excellent cook and made a roasted veggie quiche, honestly the tastiest quiche I've ever had in my life! Then we ate the cheese board which I put together, with some more lovely onion relish a few roses, a bottle of prosecco and I rolled to bed for the second night in a row.

    I'm working now tonight so it's all back to normal, nearly, I've spent the past hour lying on the couch sharing biscuits with the dogs and the last of my quorn will be used in an omelette this evening. The box of biscuits will come to work with me and that will be the last of my Christmas food. :)
