Dance of Sweetness

Unwrapping Christmas Treats

Christmas has unfolded,

Holiday tunes

Playing in the background,

Lights twinkling.

*******

Chocolate-covered pretzels,

Looking

As sweet and salty

As the Grinch himself.

********

With a hint of sweetness

And a whole bunch

Of salty,

Crunchy munch.

*********

Dark chocolate chips,

White crystal sugar that sparkles like diamonds,

Milk chocolate with rainbow sprinkles,

A chocolaty

Adventure

Where every bite

Unwraps like a

Christmas gift

Revealing a symphony

Of chocolate

Flavors.

********

Washing it

Down

With hot chocolate

That is as sweet

As a kiss from a

Lover’s lips.

*********

In a mug

With Frosty the snowman

Skating about

An enchanting display that

Sends flurries of

Memories of childhood pleasures

Like New Years confetti.

**********

To select

Which one

To treat myself

Is as challenging

As clambering

Up a snowy

Hill towing my sled.

*********

A sip

Of the warm

Milky delights

With tiny marshmallows

Floating in a chocolate

River

Tinkling my

Upper lip.

***********

Christmas lights

All aglow

With comforting

Sounds

Of snapping and crackles

From the dancing

Fire flames.

*********

My culinary endeavors

Are to start.

**********

A dark chocolate

Pretzel that

Taste as

Intense

As a full-bodied

Cup of

Italian roast.

**********

As wonderful

As that was,

I am looking

For something

Different.

*********

What is my

Taste buds

Calling for?

*********

A white chocolate

That is as innocent

As a snowy blanket

Reminiscent

Of a comforting embrace?

**********

My fingers

Reach

For the

Milk chocolate

With

Delicate

Sprinkles

So childlike and free.

***********

AHHH..

Milk chocolate

That is

As sweet

As Santa.

Timeless

And classic.

**********

My sugar crazies

Embarks once

Again

For my

Eyes

Leap like

Santa’s reindeers

To the chocolate pretzel

That wears chocolate chips

Like a cloak

Of bitter-sweet

Armor.

**********

My sugar high

Is as high

Rockefeller’s

Christmas tree.

**********

Who listens

To disapproving

Whispers?

*********

Tis the

Season

Of

Christmas

Times.

Embrace

The Chocolaty

Sweetest

As it flows

In your veins,

Dance by

The fireside

With your sweet

Christmas treats.

And have yourself a Merry Christmas.

Thank you for reading.
