Cheddar, Tunworth, Baron Bigod, Oxford Blue and a soft cheese that I can’t remember are the committee-approved options, I’ll be sneaking on a manchego, Stilton and Brie too. I’m normally not fussed about cheese, but I hoover it up at Christmas.

I am not looking forward to Christmas this year.
I usually do a secret Santa with my family (I am one of 5, all apart from one have partners!). We usually meet and exchange gifts on Xmas eve but it’s very unlikely we will all be able to meet as one this year.
I don’t want to do secret Santa - I would rather just buy presents for my nieces and nephews- a zoom unwrapping of secret Santa presents would make me feel worse (husband agrees with me). And without intending to sound cheesy, if we are able to all meet- I will be so happy that I don’t care about presents.
Would rather skip to Christmas 2021!

I love Christmas with the Cranks, it’s hilariousChristmas with the Cranks or Miracle on 34th Street for me
Would she find fault with a Xmas hamper?
Been there done that lol. We actually did this last year for her, getting what we thought were her favourite foods. Turns out none of them were because she ‘didn’t get to choose’.
She’d find fault if I have her £1million, just one of those people sadly.
She sound a right ungrateful madam.
Buy her a wooly hat and scarf set and watch her face curl

Oh, it must be nearly Christmas now that Sky has Xmas music channels already. Just have Peter Andres Xmas wishes on Channel 355 if anyone else enjoys these things. 
Anyone have festive bedding? I have one set from Next I bought a few years ago nothing mad just got trees and polar bears on. Im quite tempted to get the Sophie Allport one.
I have quite a subtle christmas grey and white set but was tempted to buy a second set that was a bit more loud
Thoughts.....
Sounds gross but equally, I probably would.
Grim
Pizza Hut are doing stuffing, chicken and bacon on a gravy base which I quite like the sound of though..
Yes to everything except the cranberry sauce.
oh, I’d take the stuffing off and then it’s perfect!!
Love the McDonalds Christmas Ad!
I have a sister who sounds the same as these mother in laws ( Luckily I dont have one of them anymore due to separation!) but any gift you give her she looks unimpressed with . This year I have made her a hamper with bubble bath , bath bomb ,face and hair mask, candle and about 10 other things and sent a message to our family group chat saying really sorry but have a tight budget this year so everyone has token gifts ,if you prefer not to receive it let me know !
I'm almost done with the kids ,just need to order 2 more things but not until December as no where to put hide them !!
I've started adding things to my tesco shop for christmas hopefully I can get a slot around the 21st . I changed my bank card and forgot to update my details so missed the christmas slots !

I think general release (i.e. People without delivery saver) of the Xmas slots is Friday coming. I was lucky enough to get on Friday just gone
What’s everyone’s favourite Christmas tradition?
My family always eat Christmas dinner, clear away the table then play some kind of game whilst we let dinner go down before pudding. It always always ends in tears of laughter. Such a small part of the day but it’s all of our favourite!

I always enjoy the days around Christmas more so than the actual day. Don’t get me wrong, we have a nice day tooWhat’s everyone’s favourite Christmas tradition?

but I enjoy the things we do either side mainly.I always do the kids an “activity” advent calendar. Mainly for my son but to also include my stepchildren/the whole family at weekends. It’s more of a challenge this year for sure!
Christmas Eve, me and my son go to my mums for the day, swap presents, play games and have nice food. We come home early evening and my partner has the Christmas Eve box out ready (as the Elf leaves it when he goes back to the NP!), do the bedtime routine of leaving things out fo Santa, get the boy in bed and once he’s asleep, we play Santa duties and then crack open a bottle with either whatsevers on TV or a film. We always swap presents that night too so we can look at them properly and then give our all to the kids on Christmas Day.
I absolutely bloody love it. Can’t wait for this year!
