Sugar and anise
Something yummy this way smells
Cut out cookie time
A holiday tradition
Makes everyone feel special

Eat all the goodies
Feel the need for comfy pants
Need some extra space

Mom’s recipe box
Filled with family traditions
Enjoyed once a year
There’s her pumpkin bread
Cinnamon, raisins and cloves
Make it taste so good
Anise cookies, yum
Santas, bells, stars and camels
Frosted and sugared
Make enough for friends
We’ll need lots of hopscotches
They’re the first to go
And if there is time
Make fudge and English Toffee
Fill the cookie tray
Aprons, rolling pins
Laughter, music, heart-felt grins
Wrap up gifting tins
Every single year
Keeping traditions alive
She’s here in spirit

Those Christmas cookies
Peanut butter, chocolate kiss
A great taste combo
