Get the Seven mug.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 Seven layer Dorito Dip mug.A Mod expression for the 1960s. Mod was an aspirational working class youth culture which used sharp and sartorial style as a rebellious statement against their allotted place in life so many expressions were associated with this. So English expression 'at sixes and sevens' means in a physical or metaphorical mess, all over the place, and was used by Shakespeare. But the price of t shirts in Woolworth's selling discounted which were inferior quality clothing to that which the Mods aspired, was seven shillings and sixpence written 7/6- . The two references materialized in the Mod terms 'Not your 7/6' meaning something was not cheap and/or messy clothing
"The mod lifestyle was about conspicuous spending on quality goods. Suits had to be tailored, not bought off-the-peg, and anyone who did turn up at an all-nighter wearing a low-cost version of mod fashion would be labelled a seven and six. The numbers are a reference to pre-decimalized British currency and the cost of cheap T-shirts in Woolworths." Fraser McAlpine BBC World Service
