Shopping For Christmas Diiner

So whats for dinner the day after xmas? Tell mom whatever she cooks shes gotta have some deviled eggs hehehe. We will be leaving Duluth and if mom wants to we can time it so we can have dinner with you guys if you want. Or we will just stop at mickey dees deluxe diner lol.

Tonight is my shopping trip for what I am bringing for Christmas and Christmas Eve. I am not hosting Christmas dinner. I have to bring cheesy potatoes,so need to go and buy the ingredients. On Christmas Eve we just do snacks and meatball subs. I have to get some stuff for then too. It is going to be a mad house at the grocery store!

I got my Christmas dinner shopping done when I did my Thanksgiving dinner shopping so I'll be one of those rare ppl that don't need anything at the last second.

I have not done the shopping of the food eyt, I dont know if I will do shopping for I will be stucked and cant celebrate the event with my family for Im going to be at work on christmas day. Well, its soemthing thats not new to me. I can celebrate only the new year for I will be going home on the 29th and im getting excited. I just hope my familywill be able to spend a great christmas without me. Hope you have a nice day and happy mylotting!

Happily, Christmas lunch is at my Mum's place this year, and after that my family will come home and veg out until tea time, which will probably be cold serve consisting of prawns, ham and maybe some salad. Usually we leave the food shopping fairly close, especially for the fresh food, that way the quality is still going to be there!

Gee--I just started my own discussion about Christmas dinner...So you're having Ham? I usually don't have a Ham dinner until New Year's Day as my great-grandmother said having ham on New Years was lucky for the coming year, and funny how traditions get stuck in one's mind I probably won't get the fixings for my Roast Beef dinner until Saturday or even Sunday--you can see all that I'm having in my own discussion..(hint) LOL

I haven't went to get what I'm supposed to make only because my mom hasn't told me what I'm supposed to be bringing yet. You just reminded me that I need to call her to see what I need to bring. We are going over to her house tomorrow night to open gifts with my brother and his girlfriend because they will be leaving Saturday morning to go out of town but my mom will make food for us tomorrow night. But then the whole family (minus my brother) will be getting together on Christmas Eve to have dinner and open gifts so I will have to take food then.

The stores are empty now because of the rain. People won't shop in the rain in my area. I'm aware this sounds strange, but we don't get a lot of rain, so most people don't have rain gear.

I pretty much have everything done in advance. We are having a butterbraid before we go to church and then scalloped potatoes with ham for the main meal as it's my son's favorite so it's an easy meal!

I went in to town today to do my christmas grocery shopping.. I still have to go in on christmas eve to get the fresh things. I dread going in on christmas eve!!! Merry Christmas Grandpa Bob!!! :-)

Yes, I am a last minute dinner shopper at times, but I buy my chosen food when there's great sales going on, then freezing stuff like meats;, etc., for later use. I bought my Christmas Ham a month ago, when it was marked down on sale, now have it in my freezer. I put Swiss Cheese in my freezer, too, so it won't spoil before Christmas---then I let it unthaw a few days before the Holiday. My husband and I enjoy mashed potatoes;, baked beans;, Swiss Cheese;, pineapples on ham;, pumpkin pie;, and other added items for Holiday dinner. We shop at Aldi's, since it has the best prices generally, saving a lot of money on the groceries. Happy Holidays from Teri!
