AIBU to tell DH I’ve decided not to buy cheese and biscuits this year

[WeeMadArthur]

Because there is always so much food around at Christmas ( thanks to MiLs very generous Christmas and Boxing Day spreads which provide us with leftovers for days and we always end up stuffing ourselves) only to weaken going past all the lovely cheeses in the supermarket and end up having a shelf full of cheese in the fridge?

I wish I could help myself, I KNOW that we will all eat far too much over the Christmas period and at some point we will look at each other and agree we shouldn’t have bought the cheese and biscuits. I manage to survive on just cheddar the rest of the year so why do I feel an uncontrollable need to have at least five different cheeses in the fridge at a time when we also have the most food, cake and nibbles around?

Christmas is cheese.
Cheesemas.

I’ve never bought cheese & crackers at Christmas??

My boxing night is cheese n wine and christmas tv i would be if dh said no cheese.

Yabu. Cheese is one of my favourite things about Christmas.

Cheese with bits in, or tasting like fudge or whatever isn't cheese, it's an imposter.
It's nasty and does not enter my home.

We buy 1 extra (different) cheese and some extra crackers. If not opened it’s bound to be ok for another few weeks. Compromise, buy some but not as much.

But but but cheese?

It’s all about the cheese 🧀

Your husband would be well within his rights to LTB.

Cheese is the meaning of Christmas... you know the birth of baby Cheesus

Merry Cheesemas.

YANBU to make a change this year. It will still be available next year, as it is made in God's Own Country and other parts of the UK.

And a wheel of Stilton is actually compulsory. I believe Oliver Cromwell made a decree about it. With walnuts.

It’s actually against the law not to eat cheese at Christmas. It was never repealed due to him having his head lobbed off.

Fact(ish) 🧀

YABU to not buy cheese and biscuits, it's Christmas law.

This is a crime against humanity as cheeses and biscuits in their many guises is the best part of the festive season and it is marvellous if the are still hanging around in January.

I only have cheddar for the kids in the house the rest of the year. Between December 24 and January 2 I eat random exotic cheese probably for two of every three meals a day. You know the woman on the American Beauty poster covered in rose petals? That’s me with cheese.

YABmassivelyU (but in the plus side, more cheese for me)

I bought ten tonne of the stuff yesterday. Its work to roule in this house.

Only ten?

I don't get cheese with bits in either apricots and the like (bleurgh)

Or random green bits. 🤢

yabvvvvu
even if you only get a small selection of cheese, as you’ll probably miss it if you don’t buy it

Cheese is law

I’d like to clarify for those worried about us having a cheeseless Christmas that I have already weakened and bought the cheeses even though I said I wouldn’t and DH agreed with me. I was more worried that I would get responses telling me how greedy I was to buy cheese on top of everything else we will be eating, but I can see that isn’t going to happen!

What are those random green bits, chives?

Oooh, pickled walnuts with a really mature cheddar.
Dd is moaning that the fridge stinks because I've been ripening a camembert in it for weeks, that baby will run.

A h Christmas is saved
