Have you begun Christmas prep? (C*****mas for those who dislike this holiday)

Marianne72

[Please if you don't enjoy Christmas, do not respond to this thread - I want to keep it joyous for those who do!].

Anyone started preparing for Ch****mas? Last week I made mincemeat. This week is apricot chutney, and next caramalized onion chutney. One item a week works nicely, finishing on Ch****mas eve with sausage rolls. It's more manageable within the weekly budget I set myself and a nice tracker as the weeks go forward. How do you plan your eats? Any new ideas? What are your favourites for this holiday especially things you only make, or buy, at this time of year?

  • In the spirit of the positive thread you've started, I actually put my decorations and tree up last week. I love Christmas. I have 90% of my presents, wrapped and under the tree. Christmas tree I've bought a box of diabetic friendly chocolates for Christmas Eve and have a diabetic friendly chocolate advent calendar. I just need to buy for 2 more people then I'm done. 

    I like the sound of your apricot chutney Marianne72. I've never tried one with apricot in. I've only ever had shop bought onion chutney-I am not a good cook! Sweat smile
