Holiday Treats

I am a bit late posting this up but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Cream Cheese Dainties

In anticipation of the Savior’s birth,
Is the sweet smell of ancestral baking.
In the kitchen tonight,
My darling is reproducing cookies,
That her mother and her mother’s mother,
Baked at the old place in Farmville long ago.

We salivate in anticipation of them
Each December, and thank God and cook equally.
They are here once again cooling on the racks,
Piled high in the Teddy Bear Cookie Jar,
I pop one into the maw now and then
Just for the purpose of testing.
