Don't let Santa bring all the treats this year
Christmas is just around the corner, it's time to get serious and think about the food and drink - if you haven't already.
If you have, we applaud you because you can guarantee that in the necxt couple of weeks that the supermarkets are going to go nuts with people stockpiling for their 'Christmas Cupboard'.
A shopping list is a must on one of these shopping trips, or you'll find yourself going to and from the shops more times than you have all year and this is only because you tell yourself that the day wouldn't be perfect or would completely crumble if you didn't have that extra packet of Pringles to snack on in the evening. Even though we really know that people are far too full and merry to be thinking of these things.
That said, we're here to provide you with some food - and drink - for thought, your shopping lists so to speak. We have Christmas Food, Christmas Drinks and Christmas Treats that you need to be considering this year - it just would be the same without them you know...
