It's only 10 weeks away people...
Which is actually mad, to be honest. While 10 weeks may seem like a long time, January 2022 feels like only yesterday, so time really is moving at an incomputable speed. But while I could sit here and write about how fast time is going these days, I'll spare you and tell you about the M&S Christmas Food to Order range instead, which you can already shop now.

Having never made a Christmas dinner myself (shout-out to my step-mum for her tireless work over the last two decades of my life) I can say that it is something that is truly daunting to me. The amount of preparation that goes into it is mind-boggling stuff; luckily M&S are here to help with their Christmas Food to Order service which is already live for customers.

So how does it work?
M&S Christmas Food to Order:
- BOOK A SLOT: Choose a collection date and time to suit you
- START SHOPPING: Secure your all-important festive essentials and treats with a €40 deposit.
- TOP UP YOUR ORDER: Need to amend your items, collection store or time slot? No problem.
- COLLECT IN STORE: Pick up your order hassle-free on 23rd or 24th December and pay the outstanding balance.
And just like that, your shopping is essentially done well ahead of December. What's great about M&S is that while they have all the classics we're used to, they also make sure any non-meat eaters are catered for too. Instead of turkey and ham you can get a vegan rolled turkey joint.

I know Halloween isn't even over yet, but those pictures have me craving a turkey sambo - the vegan version or not!
If you're interested in getting on top of your Christmas food shop, you can do so on the M&S website
