She has tempted us before with her skills.

Butter, sugar, flour, salt – what a master baker!

But it was already almost the end of the day;

not a single, fragrant gingerbread Brad 

was to be seen, smelt or tasted.

Will there be chocolate 

laced with orange peel?

Or liquored-up with peppermint rum,

as we curious minds want to lick

& get our midday buzz on…

Homemade fudge? Butterscotch bark?

A nutty delight? Cinnamon Snickerdoodles?

Anticipation’s making me 

(crazy) late & ravenous

Will she be here tomorrow,

the demigoddess of holiday treats?

Snow coming in fast and deep.

Holiday cheer is everywhere.

Even with debt, giving is a good thing,

whether it’s time, love or money.

Holiday cheer is everywhere!

Loved ones are waiting for you—

whether it’s time, love or money,

keep moving—it’s cold outside!

Loved ones are waiting for you.

Constant Comment tea now brewing;

keep moving—it’s cold outside,

but warm sex is on the menu!

Constant Comment tea now brewing;

snow coming in fast and deep

but warm sex is on the menu—

Even with debt, giving is a good thing.

A good, Chag Urim Sameach, we wish for you,

& whatever wishes that might come true—

Next year, in Jerusalem—next year, we’ll be here

together, unmasked—this year, we’re still here

safe & cozy, frying & Zooming with family:

thankful we have each other to talk with, sing & to see. 

Can’t wait to light up the lights

for these 8 crazy nights!

We wish to be healthy & safe this holiday season,

& that love is all around, that’s the reason.
