Hi Robin,  
In the past, my friend Suzanne and I have always spent a weekend just baking cookies together for Christmas and it is exhausting.

So, this year we decided to have a cookie exchange. I found your web site and it was such a big help. We had First Annual Christmas Cookie Exchange on Sunday, December 10 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. which was a perfect time. We had eight woman and a lot of cookies.

We served appetizers and punches (strawberry champaign and mock champaign). I had everyone send me their recipes in advance and made recipe books to hand out on the day of the exchange.

Thank you for your web site and all the ideas to help us with our first cookie exchange. Can't wait until the Second Annual next year. I'm attaching a few photos for your list of 2006 parties. Merry Christmas!
