coooookies

sometimes you want to see how things finish
before you decide what the story is.
(this is the first of several holiday posts)
my go-to cookie recipe book
is 1983's Cookies for Kids.
a classic i had but lost
& found again.
cooking is about nostalgia
when it's not about sustenance.
my tupperware childhood
is imprinted forever.
i like
packing the trunk
bagging the groceries
& fitting the cookies together
just so.
my angels always wear blue
and have yellow wings.
rudolph always has a cinnamon nose.
trees are green;
moons are yellow.

pile o' sugar, spice, & everything nice

Winged Creatures of Christmas
i like a little bling on my things
