Just a little late this year, but yes, we’re doing it again! The Fourth Annual Blog Cookie Exchange will be held next Wednesday, December 17. A review: here was last year’s party, here’s what it looked like two years ago, this is what happened the very first time.
The tradition was born out of a wish that we “imaginary friends” could enjoy the holidays together. We’d love to share some holiday cheer in person, but since we can’t, this is the next best thing — a virtual holiday open house. Allow me to cut and paste from prior invitations — Here’s how it works:
Start with some variation of:
Favorite holiday recipes
Special traditions
Favorite gift to give
What you wear when you don your gay apparel 🙂
and/or anything else you’d like to tell us about your holiday celebration. As is the custom here, there aren’t many rules. Whatever you’d like to share is fine — carols, stories, decorations, something new that you’re trying this year, whatever. Here it’s Christmas, but all holidays are welcome. If you don’t celebrate ANYTHING, then your grinchy scroogey ass can just fake it for one day, for goodness’ sake! Make something up! And you don’t HAVE to include cookies, if cookies aren’t your thing. It’s just that “Cookie Exchange” has a nice, Christmas ring to it. Better than, say, “shindig” or “hootenanny,” although it may turn into either or both.
If you don’t have a blog (what?! why not?!), stop in next week and leave your contributions in the comments. If you DO have a blog, leave a comment here next Wednesday on the Cookie Exchange post, and we’ll all come to your party, too. You won’t gain any weight, and you won’t need a designated driver! So here’s the deal, again. We wanna come to your place and eat your cookies and rummage around in your things and stuff next Wednesday. (Oh, and do post an invitation at your place, if you’re so inclined — everyone is welcome, the more the merrier!)
Oh, and one new thing I hope to attempt this year, weather and health permitting — I want to show and tell some things about holiday attractions in my hometown. You know you have some, too. SHARE!
What Was I Thinking? 
I’m in!!
Oooh, and I was FIRST, too!! Red letter day! :O
I’ll see if I can get my butt in gear and do that this year.
I can’t wait.
I always have fun at your parties.
Ok – I’m in, too. 🙂
I may have to come out of retirement for this one. Then the Christmas post can remain up until, oh, say June or so . . . .
I actually have a great cookie recipe this year. BONUS! I don’t have to make one up.
i will not be wearing that lampshade again this year but yes i will be there!
someone needs to sign up as William’s designated driver.
as usual, I will provide the party tunage over at classicalmusicbroadcast.com
Alrighty… I will show up — AND– I will drive William home safely. But I am not responsible for his behavior while he’s here.
Ooooh, I love your Christmas parties, Susie! Thanks for the invitation!!
I’ll try to remember to wear clean underwear on Wednesday.
I said “TRY.”
My cookies are the kind you buy and bake, I know I should be ashamed, for I am a 68 year old grandma, but I didn’t seem to acquire that good baking gene….now my daughters are great bakers, and my mom was a great baker….but I am a good eater….LOL….and I only wish they were scratch and sniff, because they look so good….Have a very Merry, Happy Christmas Susie….. judy
hold up here a minute…bucky will be wearing underwear (clean or otherwise)?! i need to understand what this world is coming to.
p.s., will alcazar be there?
