Christmas shopping list?

iwannanicerlife

I have left things unbelievably late this year and heading off to do my food shopping tomorrow. I seem to be having a total mental block about what I need, does anybody please have a christmas shopping list that they could post? I'm dreading forgetting something important! (Meat is ordered so I don't need to worry about that)

Thanks

It is a blooming nightmare isn't it- christmas food shopping? Well apart from your meat, sausage/bacon wraps? veg? stuffing? cranberry or other sauces? gravy? bread sauce? starters? puddings cream ice cream? then for evening and following days-bread? salad? porkpie? sausage rolls? dips? coleslaw? chutneys (for leftover meats) and cheeses- other than that I ask everyone in the house- what foodstuff to them is essential for christmas(- satsumas and nuts) and other than that lot I prob wouldn't get too much more.

Is that a help? or overload? got me sweating now about getting it all!!!
(btw I don't necessarily use/buy all these things myself- money saving- and waist watching!! lol

OMG brandy butter. No-one has mentioned brandy butter!

We went away en masse for Christmas last year and asked people what they couldn't live without at Christmas so that we catered for essentials and everyone in the family but me said roast potatoes. My essential was brandy butter - I can't get enough of it with my yummy Christmas pud!

omg I am so GLAD that I am not `doing` christmas this year. I have organised christmas for 37 years, year on year and it is so exhausting.
