Do you go overboard and go right into the nitty gritty of buying things you wouldnt normally do. Do you like to get out the cheese board and display at least 8 different types of cheeses to your guest ? Do you buy those nuts in the hard-shell only to find you cant find the nut-cracker you put away last year. Does your satsumas start to go soft because you bought to many and the kids are starting to turn orange ! Do you try to buy the biggest turkey only to find its too big for the oven so you have to give it a good pasting and break its limbs before you find out it will take 2 days to cook and 7 days to defrost !
Do you buy all the different types of pickles, only to find you need to find a chemist open on Christmas day night to buy some Rennies ?
Do you buy large amout of beers and wines only to realise you have more in stock than the local pub ?

So just how much do you spend on food at christmas. ? What do you buy but only at christmas, and what and how much of it do you tend to throw away ?
