Drink, Baileys (double) with a (double) Irish and a (single) shot of Amaretto over ice. I thought I had invented it on holiday a few years ago but apparently it is known as a Sleepy Irishman. Food, just more chocolate than I would usually eat.
 
I pledge to make mince pies an all year round thing next year. I've discovered the delights of mince pie ice cream and mincemeat in porridge recently......it's life changing.
 
-Port usually only comes out at Christmas.

-Matchstick chocolates, in fact milk chocolate in general.

-Smoked and glazed ham.

-Mince Pies

-I also tend to cooking some over indulgent dishes I would’ve normally make at any other time of year. Knocked up Croque Monsieur for me and the father in law last Xmas eve before we went out to get the last bits of shopping for the Christmas dinner and did a ridiculously creamy & cheesy bacon, chicken and leek pasta on NYE.

Assorted Nuts(whole) still in their shells
Dates

I've got to say my weekly intake has to include cheese and crackers. The Wensleydale currently unopened in the fridge is reserved for the Christmas Cake which is maturing nicely.
 
I miss the Santa shaped speculoos biscuits we used to get at this time of the year in Belgium. Some were up to a foot long and they were brilliant for dunking.
