I could never imagine a world without yummy, delicious, flavorful cheese. Think about it – a sandwich would be just bread and meat, pizza only sauce and crust, mac and cheese just, well, macaroni.

I could go on and on. I would never want to live in a world so dull, so boring…

I mean, there’s even a holiday celebrating cheese –  #NationalCheeseLoversDay! In honor of this day dedicated to cheese, I thought I’d share some of my favorite holidays and ways I celebrate with cheese.

1. Valentine’s Day

Does that special someone in your life love cheese more than chocolate? What better way to surprise them then with this cheese lover’s valentine box.
