THE YULE SWEETS

 

Every Yule since I was born,

my family had this tradition

of making chocolate sweets

before Christmas Eve day.

 

Every member of the family

in Iceland would gather at

my parents house, and there

we would make our own

 

special confectionaries,

from sugar and marzipan,

with many flavors and in

white, yellow, green and red.

 

It is part of the Yuletide

for me and my loved ones

not to ever skipped

to be forever upheld.

 

The sweets are now

made at my house

they are made today

everyone is coming.
