I always need to have smoked salmon, crackers, purple onions, lemon and capers. It is a Christmas essential.

Other things we tend to have are
shrimp ring
selection of cheese
nuts in the shell,
crackers
bread
veggies & dip
alcohol

plus the usual food. We're at my MIL's for Christmas this year and I want to do a fair bit of the cooking as she overcooks vegetables something dreadful.
