Gingerbread

Gingerbread house Ice cream cone tree 1 piece of candy for the house 2 pieces for me The air is full With the smell of molasses I need to lie down As my blood sugar crashes Cookies, Candy canes And a Hershey's kiss Belief in Santa, youthful metabolism These are things that we really miss December is great My favorite you bet The next 11 months Trying to get out of debt

I always wanted a gingerbread house when i was a child... now hubby is diabetic it is a definite no no. The final stanza hits hard as many end to overspend at this time of the year - not me though we buy when we need something not because a day dictates:-) have a wonderful time over the festive season:-) hugs jan xx
