December 4th  2007  Our First Annual (?) Ladies Christmas Coffee & Cookie Exchange 3-5 pm   Flory Tranquilli's home.  (1517 Trenton)   Coffee , hot tea and malted cider was provided.

OUR INSTRUCTIONS WERE: -Make (or buy fancy – we don’t care) 4 dozen (and 4) cookies or candies (fudge, divinity, peanut brittle, etc)   We  put 4 cookies on a separate plate to share at the coffee.

Put the other 4 dozen (cookies or candy) in baggies to exchange.  Place 4 in each baggie, so you will come with 12 baggies filled with 4 of the cookies (or candies) you brought And you will go home with 12 different baggies of goodies to serve through the holidays.    Put the recipe with ingredients in or on each baggie - and most of us followed the directions!

Margaret won the prize for the most ingredients in her cookies, Judy's cookies were voted the best decorated (they were reindeers), Mary G was dressed in Holiday Festive, Mary B. had the prettiest cookie, Jean's cookie was the "nuttiest" and Janet had the best cookie story.
