Poem - Delicious Christmas


DELICIOUS CHRISTMAS

The taste of Christmas,
Tantalizing,
Delicious,
Scrumptious,
Buttery, sugary,
Treats that melt
In the mouth,
Leaving
Hazy thoughts,
Sugary highs,
Languorous dreams,
Rivers of chocolate,
Glistening crystals
Of colored sugar
Coating cookies
Crisply baked and shaped
Into stars,
Angels, snowmen,
Santa,
Christmas so sweet
So rare,
A treat
At this time of year,
Our senses so keen,
Let them swirl,
And twirl,
Making memories
So real that tears
Flow free
At Christmas.

  2. It's more the thought than the actual treats than conjures the memories, don't you think? So many good memories from watching mom cook treats in our kitchen when we were growing up. xoxo

  3. I agree - I love eating the treats, but the real fun is in making them with people you love.
