Christmas Cookies
Christmas cookies and a cup of tea!
Each December brings this memory.
Since you were not in school that afternoon,
We read together from a book; but soon,
Tiring a bit, we heard the clock strike three;
Decided we should have a cup of tea.
Just then the baker's knock was at the door
With Christmas cookies - sizes, shapes galore -
With pretty colored sugar. Funny how
One day stands out above the rest, and now
I still recall with deep nostalgic joy
That afternoon with you, dear little boy,
When each December brings the memory
Of Christmas cookies and a cup of tea.

Especially for you my friends.

We can't be together in reality perhaps, but
we can be together in spirit for a sweet little Christmas tea
and a little poetry reading. That's what people used to do way back when,
for entertainment.
for entertainment.
I am joining Cuisine Kathleen, please check out her lovely blog for her White Christmas party.
The recipe for my Sugar Cookies is on yesterday's post HERE.
Love and hugs,
Cindy

It's always sweet to be able to recall simpler times. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
Thank you for stopping by my post for a visit. I have already placed Jeremiah and his parents on our prayer list. I also asked the Garden Friends to take Jeremiah's name and place it on all other prayer lists that they support in their churches and elsewhere. I pray that God will pour His favor on sweet Jeremiah through this process. In Jesus Name I pray. Cherry Kay
I came back to your blog, and I am so glad you posted those pictures...it was exactly like our tea time together!
Wait for me!!! I am on my (virtual)way!!!
