Cookie swaps, ugly sweater parties, ornament exchanges! Wow! The season is off and running! My calendar is filling up and I have already wrapped a couple presents!
The ornament exchange is tonight and is a Phi Mu annual event. We always play the game where numbers are picked and stealing is allowed. It’s good for lots of laughs. The cookie swap is being hosted by a neighbor and should be fun. The invitation said to bring two dozen cookies, one to sample and one to share!
Speaking of sharing–here is todays card.
