I would love to do this except that I don't know if it would work for me considering I'm in the US.  With all the restrictions they have put on mailing foods in and out of the US, it would probably be more hassle than it is worth.

Does it have to be just cookies, btw?  I remember a cousin of mine (RIP) used to bring us round a plate with all sorts of cookies & stuff like covered pretzels, chocolate peanut clusters, fudge, etc.  I've seen some members on here who've been making fudge & I want me some FUDGE! ;D

Well anyway, just a thought if anyone is so inspired?  I mean if someone wanted to spread the love around with a little fudge, that'd be a-ok with me! :)

Fudge is DEFINITELY A-OK! :D
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

My aunt makes fudge every year. She has people she really doesn't see anymore who ask her for her fudge!

Have been thinking about this for a few days and I don't think I'm going to participate afterall. I'm doing a gift exchange, card exchange and have 4 kids to deal with and I'm not a great cook/baker. Maybe next time!  :-\\\\

Fudge sounds SO good right now.

Count me in! My job in the US had a cookie party every year, so this will be great!  ;D

Candy is fine!!!

Also, just bumping this up so people who have been away or whatnot can see it. For those of you bailing out, all I can say is:

Bah humbug!!! :P ;)

Bah Humbug to me! So sorry to bail, but my husband is mortified at the thought of sending and receiving goodies to/from strangers. He just doesn't get it! My apologies for backing out! :-\\\\

Ugh! I am going to have to back out too. I am so sorry, but I start my new job the 2nd of Dec and with everything else going on with the xmas card exchange and gift exchange...it is just a little bit more than I can handle I think.  :-[
