Dear Robin,

I enjoy your web site and found it very helpful for my 2005 Cookie Exchange. My Cookie Exchange was held on December 11 and 14 ladies attended. I had recently moved into a new subdivision in Suwanee, Ga (about 30 miles north of Atlanta) and the Cookie Exchange was an excellent opportunity to meet and get to know my neighbors, as well as start the Holiday with other friends.

Games included: The Candy Cane Game - Each lady was given a candy cane necklace when she arrived and if she mentioned the word "cookie" was required to give her candy cane to the person she was talking with. The lady who had the most candy canes won a gift.

Lucky 13 Game - Each lady pulled a number from a bowl and the one who pulled the number 13 won a gift.

Judging of Holiday Outfits - Ladies wearing the most festive holiday outfit were given gifts.

Heavy finger food and hot apple cider were served. Great way to start the Holiday Season!!!

I am attaching a copy of our group picture to include in your list of 2005 parties. Thanks for all your help!
