So what are you doing for Christmas??

We did our Christmas food shopping today, my sister in law and I, just her baby and my youngest tagging along, but we still took our time.

We are having a Christmas Breakfast, and the my MIL and FIL are renewing their vows at 12o'clock, followed by a coldcut lunch, salads, boilup, and sweets.

Our grocery shopping came to: $123.71 some perishables still to buy Monday
Our meat was: $106 still have to buy ham about $60
Seafood: [tomorrow]
Fruit and veges: $84.86
TOTAL SO FAR $314.57

Which is pretty good considering we are feeding 14 adults and 9 hungry kiddies!! Seafood should add another $100 or mabey less and then the stuff you can't get till the last minute but that shouldn't come to much.
