Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
It's wonderful how writing can instantly plunge the author and:or the reader way back in their memories. It shines out throughout this piece that the author was in a time long gone, and it's very effective.
This excerpt shows that clearly "oh the fun -
Making gifts from sugar and Steen's -
Sweet mem'ries of the lot of us"

Comment from Pathim
Love it. It can make any reader reminisce of holidays of family gatherings. Everyone's favorite part is the food and you've captured the excitement of it. Nicely done.

Comment from Marilyn Lou Berry
Mmmm such a delicious poem. Reminds me of my Mom's homemade fudge and I and my little sister helping to make it! Your words read fast and engagingly. A good chance to win, I believe. Keep up the good word crafting.

Hi! I liked your poem! I learned something new. It seems that it was a wounderful time! Thanks for sharing it! I have suggestions on one line:
When Christmastime would roll around
Space: When Christmas time would roll around
You made me hungry, they look delicious! Your description its fantastic. You made one learn how to make them and eat them!
Keep writing!

Ahhhhh...the differences our locations bring to holiday traditions - a wonderful thing! Thank you for the review, Jose.
P.S. That second statement of your 'disclaimer' is a false statement. :-) :-)
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello mystery writer. That's a very nice story and reflection upon a time that clearly brought great joy. The detail of making the pralines clearly stands out in your memory. I like the story a lot and think you did a very good job in the narrative. Robert
