Chicken Pot Pie ~ Dec 24th 2025 cont

Today as I stood in a line on a cold Christmas Eve morning, I felt alive, energized and something new to me.
I felt part of a community. A community of people gathered to pick up Christmas pies, cakes, cookies at the best local bakery in the area. Many of us underdressed for the cold, but in good cheer. Chatting about the line, the bakery in neighborly fashion. Filling people in were the experts, then those of us newbies talking about what we hoped to get since we didn’t pre-order or pre-pay. Hope, laughter and as each person came out the door with their bag wished those still in line Merry Christmas. This is the spirit of Christmas! Friendship, community among strangers gathered in a common cause of sharing good bakery items for Christmas Day.
Peace and Joy on Earth! From Chicken Pot Pie
