The Bûche de Noël isn’t just a cake... It’s a symbol of light in the dark, warmth in the cold, and tradition carried forward. And that sweetness has always been a way to survive the longest nights.
Okay this feels like me grinning at a cake and realizing it’s actually a tiny winter myth in disguise. Fire turning into sugar, survival turning into sweetness—it’s cozy magic, not the loud kind. I love how it says the dark can stay, we’ll just bring light and dessert with us. Very warm-hands, soft-heart energy.
Thank you so much for your kind message. Your comment feels like its own little winter spell. Your words bring a whole new layer to the poem. I’m glad it resonated with you.
I received your invitation on the DM, thank you, I couldn’t reply on Substack because my device doesn’t support their DM feature, but I wanted to make sure I said thanks. If it’s alright with you, I can respond by email this weekend? Honestly, I'm a little nervous now.
I sent an email, was it correct? Saturday. 12;18 Central time, ill send a first draft of one, I normally change stuff the times or more, it's 5:05 pm central, Sunday

Oh that makes total sense, Steve — thank you for letting me know. Email this weekend is absolutely fine, no rush at all. Take your time~!
And hey, a little nervous just means you care. That’s always welcome at my table. We’ll keep it gentle, I promise~

Haha yes okay—found it! It finally popped into my inbox like “surprise, I’m here” 😄
Emails are little gremlins sometimes.
First drafts are more than welcome—messy, wandering, changing their mind halfway through, all of it. I’m just really glad it made its way to me.
You’re good. I’ve got it now 🤍
