baking for the holidays

with my apron on,
my holiday apron with snow flakes
and candy canes
I set out to make
a few batches of Christmas
cookies
on Christmas morning.
I like to give out warm
cookies.
it's who I am.
I get the large bowl out,
the mixer
and preheat the oven.
I make myself a large
egg nog with a splash
of rum, two splashes.
I take out my old betty crocker
cookbook and turn
to the cookie page.
eggs and flour, it says.
a rolling pin,
cookie sheets,
sugar.
sprinkles.
I need to go to the store.
I have nothing.
maybe they have cookies.
