When I was a kid, my mom, Grandma and I would go to this big event in my hometown known as Christmas Magic. It was kind of like a bazaar or indoor market for all things Christmas.

It baffles me that there are still people in this world that don't know what pimiento cheese is. What?! How can this be?!?! I basically grew up on the neon-orange cheese spread.
