I always find it difficult not to gorge on sweets during the holidays. I am fortunate to have many to choose from and choose I do. Near the top of my favorites list are iced cutout cookies. Baked sugar and butter with more sugar on top! What’s not to like?! They come in so many lovely colors and shapes too!
What are your favorite sweets?

Day 6 of the 2017 Christmas Challenge: Naughty.
I’ve combined it with day 2: Nice. Probably should not have split those up to start with. Without further ado:
[Begin scene]
Naughty or nice it will be deemed,
Which do you think you have esteemed…
In check, I’ve kept my naughty side,
In hopes I’ll get a pony to ride…
It’s all I want, I’ve asked it thrice,
I’ve tried all year to just be nice…
So please now Santa, judge me true,
And gift me what I’ve asked of you…
I thank you now and hold you dear,
I’ll be real good the entire year!

Day 5 of the 2017 Christmas Challenge: Town
Feel free to join in on the challenge at any time!
[Begin scene]
A silent town, the dead of night,
Bethlehem, this quiet sight…
Arriving late, this family new,
The mother tired, her baby due…
Finding no rooms, in which to sleep,
The couple take shelter, among the sheep…
The time has come, a time of joy,
She’s given birth, to a special boy…
Named him Jesus, Emmanuel,
Now go forth, the world to tell.

[Begin scene]
A chilled morning, an ideal place for frost…
The frosted glass table sits quietly, freezing in the crisp air…
Upon it a leaf, taking on the color of copper patina, its edges highlighted by a light frosting…
The scene frozen, awaiting the sun beams that will soon bring warmth, erasing this beautiful moment, replacing it with another.
