That's why I HATE the Festive Season: all that extra food/drink/games/silly hats  ;D

I always buy my Xmas pud from Aldis.
I love the cheese there as well.

I like the special little treats that we get. We have a smokehouse and fisheries  near us who does wonderful sea food and smoked salmon. Don't buy much but try to get some different things we buy every week.

I don't like turkey though.

Lidl Xmas cakes and puds nearly always come top of taste tests in magazines and tv progs.  I have had both many times and they're always scrummy

Mince pies - home made, of course.

Christmas pud I have to buy dairy free,  :( however usually manage to get one in supermarket.

Why on earth are they (the papers) writing about this now for God's sake?!!!!!

I make my own Xmas pud and mince-meat for mince-pies which I also make...
