Holiday Cookies

My mommy lets me lick the bowl when she makes sugar cookie dough. She shapes them with a cookie cutter and brushes them with lots of butter. And when she puts them in to bake, I stare and stare and wait and wait. They are hot; she uses a mitt. She lets them cool; she cleans a bit. Soon we’re ready to make designs. I try to draw very straight lines. Mommy says that I don’t have to, that wavy lines are okay, too. I’ll give cookies to Daddy and Santa and maybe to my sweet nana. They like to see what I have done. Cooking with Mommy surely is fun!

All good here Tom. I hope with you as well. Yes, especially if one no longer has family with which to share new memories, the old ones are comforting. :)
