Dreading Christmas grocery shopping

I never know what to buy especially for Christmas. The supermarket will be so busy. Hopefully my stepdaughter will do it for me.

We are having turkey. Kind of like a second Thanksgiving for Americans. I have done lasagna before though. That’s my wife’s favorite.

Go with your gut. Just do it.

I’m just ordering the usual stuff i get every week online. There’s a 50/50 chance I’ll be spending it at my brother’s anyway.

Aren’t all the online grocery slots taken by now? I have to book the slot well in advance to ensure it at Christmas.

Have an ASDA delivery order sorted.

I’ve only done one online grocery shop since I’ve been here. That was when I first moved in. My stepdaughter wanted to get me shopping in store.

I’ll be going to my stepdaughter for Christmas or Boxing day depending on when she’s working. I like to get in some Christmassy food bits. I’ve bought a few festive meals from Wiltshire farm foods.

I prefer mince pies with flaky pastry.

@anon94176359 My mum used to make a great sherry trifle so did my wife.

Never seen a flaky pastry mince pie before. I like Christmas pudding with cream. Just regular cream not brandy one

I’m not overly keen on Christmas pud. I’ll eat it but it’s far from my favourite.
