It's cumbersome already
- Christmas without booze and cheeses. NO DECENT CHEESES, Jesus.

I dunno how you managed to keep zip, AND refrain from booze.
The odd glass of red wine won't do bab no harm...

Yeah, I had a small glass of pinot noir on New Year's Eve.
I have never savoured wine more in my whole life.

Why no cheese?
I've never heard that pregnant women couldn't eat cheese?? (Or is this something specific to you and therefore private).

You're not allowed unpasturised milk
which a lot of nice cheese is made from.

Hard cheeses are okay
but soft cheeses with rind could harbour listeria so are advised against. Listeriosis is pretty rare but hysteria prevails (also, it's serious if you do get it). Pregnant women in Spain are advised not to eat salad because it's a similar risk.

We should have been arrested
for child endangerment as my wife ate a lot of cheese (all types) when pregant with both daughters. Hmm, this may explain why they are both the way they are..... (It couldn't be due to anything we as parents did).
