At Christmas time

The sweets compete

And from their diets

Most people cheat;

Tempted by confections

And fudge filled trays

Colorful candies

Or rum soaked cakes;

Hot cocoa served

With candy cane kisses

Sugar cookies

Decorated for Christmas;

And if the gingerbread house

Mysteriously disappears

Just hide the crumbs

And blame Santa’s reindeer
