We are starting to get the food together this week.
Thought I’d share our ideas if you are doing it too.
Last year we found it was a fun way to sample ideas for boxing day if you do boxing day buffet parties too.
During Covid I think we sort of did WW2 parties ~ not sure but found something about it on social media.
This year we are adding 80’s buffet ideas to 70’s buffet ideas and doing a bigger spread.
We already got some Mateus and are getting Cinzano also for the drinks cabinet.
Hopefully life is going back to normal now but wondering if to keep using this idea to relieve stress over christmas.
During this year I discovered Aperitif so we are starting with Aperitif
We are doing the ritz cracker biscuits one for the fancy dress party, with Cinzano so it is the Italian one.
Then just doing a buffet style spread of Quiche, baby jacket potatoes with sour cream, salad and 70’s options like pork pie, scotch eggs, crisps, cheese and onion on sticks, cocktail sausage on sticks and so forth another idea that turned up was party freezer food we might do bajis and samaso also.
You just need to go to your supermarket and see what they have.
Looking forward to it ~ think I need a bit of nutrition.
(Then it is 25 days of drop a dress or trouser size for christmas, (men can slim too if they want to join in) ~ also makes room for the christmas food and drink treats!!!)
I sourced some new frozen cakes at Tesco so hopefully will get them.
Also trying to get traditional cakes like Battenburg and Mr Kipling.
And noticed some M & S luxury chocolate biscuits I fancied trying.
Now food is starting to come back into the supermarket you can go to town on your buffets and make sure all your guests are full and satisfied.
If you don’t trust yourself with leftovers and are worried about your figure I just throw out anything leftover on Monday.
Bit wastefull I suppose but better for you to keep your figure, it is just sampling food for christmas anyway.
Lizzie says to do that and she is a fitness guru.
(At christmas of course it will keep people full so you don’t need to go shopping)
We are hoping to get our nest of tables from the interior design calendar as they are perfect for guests to put their food and drinks on.
Will add anything new we find into the November Fancy dress food file on pinterest.

(The other idea is chicken in a basket)
There are quite a lot of films stored up for you and trying to get a new tv series for you if I can get it to work.
It is also a good excuse to start buying christmas dresses and trying them out if you do the fashion calendar.
Hope this inspires you and you find some lovely food and drink.
