This is so beautifully written, the work of a real writer who know how to make melodies with words and sentences, filling them with every kind of savored detail from memory by adding layer upon layer of concrete sensory delights to the finished essay. This is a story of the best and happiest of times at Christmas, told through vividly remembered details of baking Christmas cookies that melted in your mouth. They were treasured times with your mother to remember always.

How nice that you re-live those Christmases past with tender recollections, and the sure knowledge that the simple pleasures in life mean the most.
