Are there any chocolates, other sweet stuff or savoury food(apart from the Christmas meal) you associate just with Christmas that are must haves in your home for over the Christmas season ?

Neither did we. We'd write wish lists but children have been writing letters to santa for years so that's nothing new. There was never a guarantee you would get everything or even anything off the list.

I never wrote a wish list and neither did my children.
