My grocery spending includes all food for a sit down dinner for family (8 people) on Christmas Eve. It also included some paper products that I didn't seperate out.
Shopping: I went a little over budget on Christmas shopping, and bought myself a few things. No regrets.

Food prices are high so I don't think your food spending was out of line considering that 8 people for Christmas Eve and I bet it was wonderful too!
