Winter delights.

Scrumptious winter delights.

Mother heats up the pot of coffee

While I take out the aromatic gingerbread cookies

The steam releasing such a sweet warm scent.

A scent I had longed all year long

Could I’ve had made gingerbread cookies throughout the year? Yes but, sometimes it’s better to long something so when you finally have it you can truly appreciate it. The coffee intertwines with the aroma of the cookies. Nothing smelled better than that on an early morning of a winter day. Mother turned the television on and resumed we resumed our winter tradition. Finding a hallmark movie she hadn’t seen before. Which was impossible...

...but we enjoyed it. Rewatching our favorite Christmas love movies. While drinking our now warm coffee with our gingerbread cookies. Dunking and dipping away as the time passed us, As we were on our 4th movie. The month continued with the same schedule and ten extra pounds but we didn’t really care because it was our time of the year.

Tradition means this,

Tradition means us.
