This was my 8th annual cookie exchange. I have my exchange the second Saturday of December each year. 28 guests attended in 2004 with each guest receiving 4 of each type of cookie brought. This is a true bake-a-thon with 19 dozen cookies baked per guest. Each guest brings a snack and I provide the drinks. We also have a gift exchange called "Chinese Christmas" where gifts are allowed to be stolen a total of three times before they are considered dead and cannot be taken after than. This is game is always a big hit!!! We end the party by having a group photo taken by the Christmas tree and then the actual exchanging of the cookies.
