Cookie Day Rules....

When I go to Seattle for a quick visit with my family in December, I plan on attending my SIL annual family "cookie day"! They are a super fun group and have annual get togethers at least once a month during the year... sometimes many many gatherings in a month depending.


So for cookie day you bring all the ingredients and tools to make a big batch of whatever cookies you like (or candy or fav holiday treat) and meet the family at one house on cookie day and make your treats and then everyone takes home a variety of everything that was made that day.


I was able to attend "Annual Kite Day 2007"... but I remember it came with some rules. So I emailed my brother to clue me in on all the rules of cookie day, as not to make any big mistakes or offend anyone while I was joining in on all their fun.

They were hilarious... so I thought I would post them to share.
