Christmas Recipe

Happy Holidays everyone at Poetry Soup!



A cozy warm fire

2 cups hugs plus one cup love

and a Christmas tree



Gifts favored with care

3 cups grins 2 cups kisses

and snuggly blankets



Chocolaty treats

Tablespoon of handholding

and Christmas stockings


Candy cane delights

Two and a half cups laughter

and Christmas carols



Santa’s ho ho ho

2 cups of Christmas giving

and holiday cheer


Merry Christmas!

I found this poem in February and it is just as good now, as it was at before Christmas. Where did you learn to cook anyway? :-)

A recipe that all should follow. I might exchange one of the cups of grin for a cup of gin. :0). Blessings for a wonderful 2020.
