he holidays mean a lot of things, one of which is giving and receiving gifts. For some folks this is the best part of the season, for others it’s a chore. One way to keep it simple, include a lot of people and satisfy your sweet tooth all at the same time is to have a cookie exchange. It takes some coordination and some baking skills, but it’s a great way to spend time with friends and exchange your special creations.

The first thing to do is to determine your guest list. There is no limit, but you probably want to include your friends and family with at least some baking skills. That is not to say nonbakers shouldn’t be invited, after all, it is the holidays. Just make sure they aren’t expected to learn how to bake overnight. If need be, they can pick something up at the bakery. Next set a date and time and send out your invitations. Let your guest know that you expect homemade cookies and how many cookies to bring. The amount of cookies each guest should supply is based on how many people you invite. The next part can be tricky. You also want your guests to send you their recipes ahead of time. This is done for two reasons. First you want to be able to supply these recipes to each guest. Second, you want to make sure that not everyone is bringing sugar cookies. The problems may arise if someone considers their recipe secret. If this is the case, ask them to choose another recipe, one they don’t mind sharing. Another problem may arise if several guests are planning on bringing the same type of cookie and they don’t want to compromise. This is when your relationship to the guest and level of comfort comes into play. Hopefully at least a few to them will compromise. Invitations can be sent out by mail or email, whichever is easier for you. Once you have gathered the recipes, sharing them can be done many different ways. One way is to put them all on paper and hand them out the each guest. A more festive way is to print them out individually and place them by each cookie display. Speaking of displays, decorations for the event should include several tables with a platter for each guest’s goodies. Once the cookies are on their platters, each guest can walk around collecting the types of cookies they want. You should supply each guest with festive bag or bakery type box to carry their treats home. You should also have snacks, drinks and maybe a game or two to play. Include festive holiday music and activities for the kids, in case they come with their parents. Holiday gift giving doesn’t have to be a chore. You don’t have to worry about sizes, colors and who likes what. Everyone likes sweets. Consider throwing a cookie exchange and give everyone a break from shopping.

Gift Giving the Office
othing says holiday fun like gift giving at the office. It’s a tradition that most of us are forced into.

The classic office gift giving tradition is of course, Secret Santa. Everyone randomly draws the name of a co-worker who then becomes the person that you give a gift. There is normally a limit on the amount of the gift, so things don’t get out of control. In some cases, smaller, less expensive gifts are purchased and left with clues. When the big gift exchange occurs people then try to guess the identity of their Secret Santa. A tradition that is a more cutthroat is the White Elephant gift exchange. Each person buys a gift. When the gift exchange occurs, one person starts. The next person then picks, but has the option to take the previous person’s gift, thus forcing them to pick again. It’s kind of like “Let’s Make A Deal,” but on a smaller scale. One Great food. Great service. Great fun! way to keep the atmosphere light and avoid hard feelings (717) 616-8952 | 15-17 Mill Street, Middletown, PA is the make sure the gifts are www.JDsJunction.com | JDS.Junction gag gifts. For the studious office, there is the book gift exchange. Everyone offers their favorite book as a gift. The books can be given "Your Hometown Butcher Shop" randomly or in Secret Santa fashion. The interesting part of this tradition is to see what kind of literature your Full Service Butcher Shop co-workers like. Deer Processing Offering: Maintaining the theme Italian & Smoked Sausage idea, how about a coffee Bologna • Sweet Sticks mug exchange? Most people drink coffee or tea at work. Pepper Sticks Coffee mugs come with pracDry Beef tically anything printed on them. This is best used with 6 Grandview Rd. an assigned recipient. That Hummelstown way you can match the mug to the personality. An altruistic approach would be a charity exchange. This means making a donation to someone’s favorite charity. This is the true meaning of the holidays. To make sure they get what they want, you could do a gift card exchange. Not a lot of surprises here, but most folks like to shop. To keep it interesting, have everyone supply 3 places that they like to shop. Leave 100 Brown St. Suite 14, Middletown, PA it up to the giver to decide from which place to buy the gift card.

wednesday, november 16, 2016 Here is a brief look at some of the heaviest shopping days of the holiday season.
4th Annual Pre-Turkey Bazaar
❤ Black Friday Once considered the heaviest shopping day of the year, Black Friday is the day when retailers get back in the black by offering big discounts, usually starting at midnight or later the day after Thanksgiving. Sales are advertised heavily the weeks prior in an effort to attract shoppers. In many areas, sales remain strong on Saturday as the shopping continues, resulting in the coining of the term, “Black Saturday.” ❤ Small Business Saturday First observed in 2010, it is a
counterpart to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which feature big box retail and e-commerce stores respectively. By contrast, Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers to patronize brick and mortar businesses that are small and local. (Small Business Saturday is a registered trademark of American Express corporation.) ❤ Sofa Sunday With the heavy web traffic of Cyber Monday and more employers frowning on personal shopping conducted from work, Sofa Sunday has emerged in recent years. Sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Sofa Sunday allows shoppers the
opportunity to find great deals online on their own time. ❤ Cyber Monday The Monday after Thanksgiving, Cyber Monday originally offered Black Friday shoppers the chance to finish up their shopping online and nab some great deals while at work. Shoppers often used the day to look for items they couldn’t find on Black Friday. Most employers today are not keen on employees using work computers for personal use, and shoppers must wait until they get home to take advantage of any Cyber Monday deals. ❤ Free Shipping Day On or around December
Saturday, November 19 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. MCSO Building 60 W. Emaus St., Middletown Vendors, Raffles, Homemade Soups, Sandwiches, Baked Goods
16, Free Shipping Day is the last day online shoppers can receive free shipping and guaranteed delivery of their purchases by Christmas. After that, shipping fees will rise and purchases may or may not arrive in time for St. Nick to make his appearance. ❤ Super Saturday Falling on the last Saturday before Christmas, Super Saturday is officially considered the last big day of the holiday shopping season. Retailers increase their staffing, extend their hours and offer major discounts one day only to attract any and all last-minute shoppers. The effort generally pays off with big sales numbers.
