Joyful Chocolate Afternoon

Hot cocoa so richly sweet,

Gingerbread cookie floating buoyantly,

Mini marshmallows and peppermint stick, what a treat!

Nestled in a wintery Teddy Bear mug so joyously.

***

Left by the Christmas tree,

With yummy morsels, an extra surprise,

Waiting to be hugged by thee,

Before the chocolate heat dies.

***

Peppermint candies and mints,

With white chocolate kisses, minty too,

Raspberry shortbread cookie with sugary crystals, just a hint,

Harmonious chocolate treat, one must pursue.

***

Snowflakes dancing outside,

Like a fairytale winter bride.

***

The children pour in,

From their playful sledding excursion,

Chilled from taking their sleds out for a spin,

Aromas of chocolate, peppermint, cinnamon in dispersion.

***

A whipping off of snowsuits and boots,

On the fly, to race to the hot desserts,

That is standing by the decorated spruce,

Sounds of excited footsteps were in concert.

***

Enticing heavenly cocoa sweets,

Wrapped about the youthful persons,

As they took their seats,

To dive into this hot chocolate and candy versions.

***

A choir of sips and slurps,

Rang out with a few velvety burps.

***

Chocolate mustaches,

Sticky fingers,

Crumbs left like fireplace ashes,

Innocent sugar highs that lingers.

***

A full afternoon spent,

With swirling sled rides,

Indulging on blissful goodies that left a scent,

Of cheerful Christmas vibes.
