I think we ate as many as we packed up…but it was a fun afternoon of Christmas baking! The kids love delivering cookies and a rousing, “Merry Christmas!” to our friends and neighbors. And thanks to Martha, and her spiffy little treat bag kits, all us regular folk can assemble a pretty fantastic package!
Don’t forget your sanitation workers, recycle collectors, mail carrier, UPS delivery person and newspaper distributor (politically correct enough?). It’s a simple gesture, but trust me, it goes a long way! I’ve been giving mine cookies since we moved in, and my trash is always collected (even if Mr. Sugarplum forgets to pull out the bin), my mail carrier always tucks the large and fragile packages in the corner of my porch (instead of jamming it in the box TWSS), and the UPS driver has doubled back on her route to catch us as home on more than one occasion. That concludes my nugget of advice for you today!
Hope you’re having a fab Sunday….six days til Christmas!!! eeeeeeeek!
Couldn't stay away, could ya? LOL The girls decorated their gingerbread houses last night, and made some sugar cookie they play to decorate tonight or tomorrow. Still have shopping to do!
Love the cookie packaging! Where did you find it?
Yummy, no not much better than the smell of baking cookies!! Loving those bags pretty mama!
That is such great advice! Those treat bags are awesome.
I was expecting a guest post 🙂 I have been burning a cookie smelling candle for the last couple of weeks, and it is driving my hubby nutso! Maybe I need to get on baking the real thing.
smart woman 🙂
Cute!
And no, nothing smells better than cookies fresh from the oven. Nothing. It is the best.
I've always wanted to give cookies to my mailman but haven't… this might be the year! 🙂
Can you even believe it that Christmas is *this* Saturday???? I know I can't…but your goodie bags are just adorable…(c:

I don't bake, but I can still appreciate this!
Christmas cookies are a tradition in our household! I can't wait to post pictures! They are pretty incredible. We decorate them on Christmas Eve before we open gifts with my mom.
I'm feeling rather eeeeek about Christmas coming so soon too!
eeeek! is the right word, as im not done with my gift shopping!
Aww, how sweet. I wish you were MY neighbour.
p.s. well played "TWSS", well played.
p.p.s I love that you have an acronym for it now too.
YUM. Just so you know, I'm currently making loud, inappropriate noises of longing for both your baked goods AND your GORGEOUS glass tile backsplash.
Just so you know. =]
So sweet of you!! I'm sure they all REALLY appreciate it. I think the mail and trash guys always get left out! My trash guys are on Thurs- still time to bake some cookies!!
Love the package! (that's what she said). 🙂 Seriously, those bags are super cute and that's so thoughtful of you to give treats to all those folks.
