Christmas treats

22 Dec 2006

I didn't want to hijack DL's thread (although I think I may have already redface

) but I was thinking earlier after we had been shopping about what foods we buy as treats at this time of year.... dunno

I have bought some smoked salmon tonight, but although it is a treat it isn't something I buy only at Christmas.... Is there anything that you buy only at Christmas and why?? :dunno:

bugger! you nicked mine! I like cheese and crackers any time of the year...but we're talking bob standard Jacobs and cheddar ! At Xmas time my main indulgence is speciality cheeses (mmmm wensleydale with caramelised onion ) on a proper cheese board with chive / black pepper & sea salt/ poppy seed etc etc crackers, with wine. I dont do stilton though :scared:

Ooo Shireen, does Lush count? I bought all my vanilla mates Lush stuff again this year but decided I just couldnt bear to part with it, so have kept it and stashed the lot lol

now have to brave the crowds tomorrow to buy alternatives :lol: Its not Terry's , its mine :twisted:

23 Dec 2006

Dark you bad girl!! smackbottom

I bought loads of Lush as Christmas pressies too but I didn't stash them... That's because I bought stuff I didn't really like so I wouldn't be tempted :giggle:
