Meaning
This is a small defense of excess, and of the pleasure that comes with things that feel homemade and generous. The line suggests that holiday food should look a little unruly, because abundance matters more than polish. It lands on a cold evening with mugs, cream, and chocolate on the counter, when the point is comfort rather than neatness.
