I do a raffle drawing (1 ticket for being on time, 1 for wearing christmas attire, 1 for having cookied on a holiday platter) and I do 3 prizes - Best decorated, Best Displayed, Craziest Holiday Sweater. For food I did deli sprials, veggies, chex mix, and mini chocolate eclairs. Every food item was pre-made from the store so I didn't have to stress over it. I asked everyone to bring their recipe (included the recipe card with the invite) and I am now working on a cookbook to send out to the gals. Have fun at your party!Renandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852859662704049178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494652233045553893.post-85900796310506008432009-12-10T07:49:21.221-08:002009-12-10T07:49:21.221-08:00I am on my 4th annual cookie exchange so it was gr...I am on my 4th annual cookie exchange so it was great to get some new ideas.

Serve it with a big ice ring. It's more refreshing than sweet.<br /><br />Can I come? I'll bake my signature candied ginger shortbreads...I'll even make 2 cookies equal a serving...LOL!<br /><br />:-D)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494652233045553893.post-8325844177833921732009-12-08T15:55:36.059-08:002009-12-08T15:55:36.059-08:00These are great tips, thanks so much to both of yo...These are great tips, thanks so much to both of you!
