The pointlessnessness of buying Christmas foods.
I can't stop the kids eating it. If there are any crisps, pork pie, fruit juice or mandarins actually left by the time Christmas day comes around I shall be amazed.
But I can't be arsed to get up at 6:00am on Christmas Eve to go shopping again so they'll just have to go without.

My Mum always managed to stop us from eating the xmas food. The key was fear.

I have kids of a similar age. I say, once it's gone, it's gone and I won't be buying any more. I also say I have to be consulted before anything is eaten.

Funny thing is my 21 yr old sometimes still makes me say it before she will eat a treat. 'Say the words.....'. |
