Hi Robin:

My 5th annual Cookie Exchange was yesterday - Dec. 6, 2008. It went better than ever. I had 17 people -- six were new, and really added to the mix of fun people.

We did a thing called Dance as Though No One is Watching. I had new scarves, soft and pretty, from the dollar store, for everyone. We all tied on the scarves. Some one took pictures of that cuz everyone had different ways to tie while waiting to pull the scarf over their eyes.

Some looked like pirates, or roaring 20's flapper, or deer hunters or young hippies. I played about 30 seconds of Winter Wonderland, and then Feliz Navidad. Slow song, then fast song. Everyone was laughing and enjoying the music and the freedom to move. It was a good way to loosen up the crowd. I stopped the music when I heard someone say -- "I think I'm going to look."!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your party! We enjoyed ours.
