What do you eat in the run up to Christmas?

The freezer and fridge are filling up wth delicious delicacies, the drinks cupboard has been replenished, the store cupboard is well stocked and the wine rack is groaning under the weight of all those bottles.
But what on earth to eat?
Can't start on any of the goodies, massively overspent at the supermarket, really not inclined to spend hours making clever casserole and NO WAY do I want to go near a shop again until at least January, so what on earth?
Home made soup - tick, (bought) quiche - tick, jacket potatoes- tick. Help - no more ideas!!!
Ideas would be very welcome!

Cracked it for tonight. Lovely Dina (of Udi and Dina) who run our village shop does a mean chicken curry freshly made each day so that's what we had tonight. I think DH was less than impressed by a "ready meal" (albeit freshly made) but it was Strictly!!

DD2 made this delicious chicken curry for us this evening.

Made a lovely change from our usual Saturday night fry-up.

(She used fresh chicken. Too soon for left-over turkey!)

I want to come and stay with several of you, please. It all sounds delicious.
My special Fish pie tomorrow, that I made a couple of weeks ago and froze. For this evening I resurrected some lamb mince, also made earlier, with exotic looking stripy pasta, but with sliced sprouts and grated butternut squash added, with some nutmeg Actually rather nice.
