    I've got round that one by always telling the kids that what's in the stocking comes from Santa and what is wrapped comes from mummy and daddy and assorted relatives :D

    Has anyone started planning their christmas menu yet?

    I have decided to do mine next week as this year i would love to add more HM stuff rather than shop brought so will need the practice.

    Not sure what I'm going to do for Christmas dinner yet, think I may be on my own this year. If I am I will just make a mini version of Christmas dinner!! :D

    We normally have something Italian on xmas eve, then a traditional dinner (minus the turkey as we are vegetarians) on the day itself. Boxing day is normally something Indian or chinese with lots of little bits. Then there is new year which is normally just a normal buffet.

    So will have to make several menus and make some freezer space:D

    Sorry you may be on your own for chrimbo dinner PP, but the upside is that you can have exactly what you want;)
