beyond sugar cookies & gingerbread houses

iced sugar cookies and gingerbread houses
sure are sweet, but the sweetest part
of the season for me is gathering with
family and friends with hearts full
of love;
i adore giving people gifts that
make their eyes light up
with joy—
love to see the cards all hung up
with care on doors or doorways
to usher in
warmth and care from loved ones,
and the sweetest gift anyone has
ever given me has been the space
to be my full authentic self;
and i will forever be grateful for time
spent with those who truly care
for my heart and my soul.
