Brussels Patè that is. I don’t know why but this is the only time of the year I buy it.

So as a lot of people will be going out today and filling their trolleys with goodies for the upcoming week I ask you this.

What is the one thing you only buy at this time of year?

Have a great day

No; it's the only time of year I drink/serve tea with them. Weird tradition.

It would be weirder if you stuck them in the bird! Don't know why I thought that.

Posh for me equals buying a selection box, and a few boxes of types I'd not normally shove in my trolley. I've had some Peter's Yard rye & charcoal sourdough crackers on the go tonight. I love cheese, crackers, olive, grapes, chutneys. But I rarely seem to think to buy them unless they're prominent at Christmas

Snowballs. Every year I'll have them when I get home after Christmas dinner.

Some part of me knows they're disgusting even as I'm drinking them, but they've become as much part of Christmas for me as a turkey dinner and the Doctor Who Christmas special.

So when you dip your hand in the tub, it's a roulette as to whether you'll get a chocolate or a sprout covered in butter? Fun times in your household
