My mother does themes for my brother and I each year for Christmas. Not all the gifts, but a handful of items that are related. In 2021, I got cheese. However, all I got was cheese. A full wheel of Rogue River Blue plus a dozen wedges of various kinds.
2021 was a hard year for me and I couldn’t afford to keep the heat on or get new snow boots to walk to work. I had asked for a space heater and some other lifestyle items. I won’t lie, in the moment I was devastated to get hundreds of dollars of cheese that couldn’t be returned. Plus it’s all I ate until it was gone because it saved me from buying groceries.
But it was still damn good cheese and I will be buying myself a wheel this year. And I will be enjoying it a lot more in a warm house by the fire.
