Not!Xmas - last minute prep.

Those of you coming to Not!Xmas on Saturday, we'd like to make a request. We're going shopping tomorrow to get the turkey, the vegetables, the gravy etc., but there are some things we're hoping you guys will bring.

* alcohol (we'll provide orange juice, lemonade, coke etc. for mixers, but we can't afford to buy alcohol for eleven people!)
* nibbles (crisps, pretzels, whatever you guys like)
* dip
* cranberry sauce (if anybody wants it - neither [livejournal.com profile] thudjack or I like it)
* mince pies
* any other pudding-type things you want

We'd really appreciate it if everybody could bring at least a little something. Please leave a comment here saying what you're bringing (and check the comments others have left before deciding what to bring) so we don't end up with nine jars of cranberry sauce and no dip.

Thanks, guys!

I'll bring some Gin and Tonic, some wine, and peanuts, some crisps and chocolate type goodies.

I'll bring the stuffing, wine and cranberry sauce. :)

Do you want Bread sauce as well?

Happy to bring wine. Although I only drink red so if anyone wants white can you let me know what you like and I'll grab a couple of bottles!

Alrighty, i can bring some random alcohol (Archers, an almost-gone bottle of vodka and some apple sourz. Well, i've gotta get rid of it somehow!)

also, i'll bake some gingerbread for a part of the pudding-type things, because you can never have too much gingerbread at Christmas!!

and if you need a hand in the kitchen dept, i cooked a roast for 5 people yesterday and didn't kill one of them so i'm feeling good about my cooking skillz (if they're required o'course!!!)

*is excited*

I'll bring my veggie thing and some White Mulled Wine - is so nice and other stuff depending on what parentals have in house?
