I had a cookie-exchange party last year that went so well that I decided to do it again this year. My other friends have stolen the big holidays (Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve, etc.), so I decided to stick my own event in during the middle of the month of December. I went kinda crazy and obsessive decorating the house for the party. Note: cutting hundreds of snowflakes out of cover stock is rather hard on the knuckles. There were supposed to be 8 attendees, but two of them ended up sending cookies and flaking on the party. Because I am a kind-hearted soul, we exchanged their cookies for them and carried on. I was rather pleased with the selection and quality that showed up this year, and I'm definitely going to carry on the tradition for the next Christmas season. In the meantime, Sean and I have a tray full of cookies to devour.
P.S. I got an awesome cheese to serve with rustic bread as an appetizer. It came from the Nugget Market and is called "Fromager D'Affinois." It's creamy and mild, with just a slight bit of saltiness. I'm in love with this cheese.

I prefer the term 'share' as opposed to 'stole'. :0) It was a great party!!!!
Thanks for putting up with mine. I love paper as decorations when we have very little storage, it can be recycled at the end of the year and made new again. You can have as much or as little as you want depending on your time.
That sounds like so much fun!!! I have it on good authority (mine) that you guys are fabulous cookie bakers (I made a meal out of your ginger cookies-sorry Nate, you snooze, you loose. Fatty.) Extra big (and full and satisfied bugs) from up North.)
