Spicy sweet fragrances in the air we feel
Cinnamon, nutmeg, and candied peel
Ginger in syrup and essence for taste
A dash of brandy sprinkled in a haste
Fingers sticky with currents and cherries
Bowls brim with nuts and blackened berries
Fistsful of cashews and sweet pumpkin preserve
Dried fruits for the pudding we all rightfully deserve
Fluffy beaten eggwhites for meringue and marshmallow
The warm buzzy smell of wines golden yellow
Cool swirling mintiness wafts happy and light
Flavoring the candy cane of stripy red and white
Gingerbread for houses and frosting for the snow
Sugar cookies for Santa Claus who greets with Ho Ho Ho
Yule log covered in chocolate with holly and pretty things
Breudher in the oven, such a feeling it brings
A banquet of desserts to appease the sweet tooth
Colours, tastes, and flavours to mellow hearts and soothe
For the aged and the young, to enjoy the festive time
With compliments of the season and feelings sublime
