The custom of eating a variety of cheese for Christmas Eve is a practice in many communities, especially those celebrating with serious seafood eaters. Participants are welcome from all cultures and religions that support the consumption of cheese.
The roots of the feast of seven cheeses lie in Eastern Pennsylvania — some say Conshohocken, others say Easton, and yet others claim it ranges from Philadelphia all the way to New York City.
Early foodies used to bring a few cheeses or dips to enjoy while family members dined on a variety of land and sea creatures. As time passed, cheese boards became more elaborate with thoughtful pairings and unique accompaniments.
This "festa de luce" also marks the moving on from the winter solstice, as the shortest day is now behind us and we can look ahead to more light and brighter days.
The seven cheeses symbolize health, prosperity, gratitude, love, family, friends and labor.
There is no consensus on which types of cheese to include, though a typical lineup might be:
*A fresh cheese, like mozzarella, burrata, chevre, ricotta or fromage blanc
* Cheddar
* Gouda
* Blue
* A soft creamy style
* A hard aged, like a Parmigianino Reggiano
* House favorite
Accompaniments can vary from specialty crackers and breads to jams, cornichons, nuts, sugared grapes, olives/tapenades and more.
It truly is "la dolce vita."

Get the Prepearing the thanksgiving feastmug. this is the entire month of may where all evil celebrate their evil and all they did year long, and feast on any foods they want, even human babies and even have sex with them. a lot of people try to have babies in the month of may so their babies will be super evil. they tell their stories and they learn from each other and become even more greater and do it every year. they even kidnap babies to keep them until they grown up and just fed them what they want to feed them so they can drain all their blood to drink at this feast every year. to eat human babies. eat baby fruits off the trees, and baby animals instead of letting them grow up and mature and produce more meat...they love how tender and soft and juicy the flesh of a new born and season it to perfection. this is only for evil people and its illegal. they don't have a right to, they just don't get caught doing it.
