We ("we") agreed well in advance of December not to go overboard on the cheese this year.
Usually we ("we") end up with loads of cheese and no biscuits. Hence this year's "no cheese" agreement ("agreement").
Then my other half randomly "contributed to Christmas" by buying a ton of "biscuits for cheese".
WITH NO CHEESE!
My immediate thought was that this was a cry for help. Which I obviously interpreted as a cry for cheese.
So... we haven't broken into it yet as I only bought it on Christmas Eve (gonna be a boxing day thing I reckon) but this year's last-minute cheese tally was:
NB I still consider this an official "Low Cheese Year". Nothing poncy, we've literally only done the basics. It is not "going overboard". I want this on record. Nothing has cranberries in it... we didn't even buy any Wensleydale ffs...
However I do feel I've acknowledged my partner's unspoken needs. So job done for the next year innit.
And as Darth Vader famously said, "the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of cheese".

So... we haven't broken into it yet as I only bought it on Christmas Eve (gonna be a boxing day thing I reckon) but this year's last-minute cheese tally was:
- emmental (first on the list of course, always)
- vintage cheddar
- camembert
- gouda
- brie
- stilton
- shropshire blue
- dolcelatte
- Castello creamy shit thing whatever the f*** that is
- something with a bubbly rind that looked interesting
- something that had a weird red crust I thought would be worth a try, might be martian but what the hell
- a couple of hard-cheese-plus-fruit randoms
- big chunk of parmesan
