First Smells of Christmas
By Cheryl W. Wilke
Art by Bob Ostrom

While Mom rolls dough
To "Jingle Bells Rock,"
I cut out Santas
And lambs by the flock.

We sprinkle each one
With a shake of fine sugar;
Like snowflakes on fields
They glimmer and glitter.

Then into the oven
They're sent for a ride,
'Til crisp on the edges
And crumbly inside.

Our taste buds line up
For the very last bite
Of a glowing, warm star
On this very cold wintery night.

My favorite first smells
Of December's yuletide,
Sugar cookies I've made
With Mom by my side.
