Hi Robin,

I found your website, signed up for your newsletter and ordered your book. I hosted my first Christmas CE this past December 2010.

I live in a Manufactured home park and we had the CE at the clubhouse from 10 – 12 noon. Twelve ladies participated and we each baked 6 dozen cookies. We placed one dozen on a table for sampling and the other 5 dozen at decorated tables for sharing. It worked out evenly so that each person took 5 of each variety. Any samplers left for there for the taking.

We played games and had prizes. I printed out certificates for best display of cookies (Martha Stewart Award) and best tasting (Betty Crocker Award).

We played Guess who I am with the theme of Christmas movies and characters. Each person had a tag taped to their back and well you know how this one plays.

Again using the Christmas movie theme had a multiple choice questionnaire, and one of the games I made up, an unscramble word game with words related to baking and what we use.

We shared our cookie stories and adventures. For some it was the first time baking so you can imagine what some of them were; hilarious!

I am sending an attached copy of our group and also the unscramble words game if anyone wants to use it.

Thanks for all the help in how to do a CE. I am sure we will do it again this Christmas.

Many thanks,

Anne Smith (I am the one in the scooter in the picture.)
