What are you offering for these? I like to pick two recipes to choose from and stick with them for the month. I also give a list of drink recipes to choose from. So far, I'm drawing a blank for December choices. So, what will you be offering?
TIA!
 
I'm offering cookie exchanges, and making the easy peanut butter press cookies, and after-dinner mint triangles,
or I'm offering easy appetizer shows, and having bread w/ oil dippings, cream cheese with pineapple-rum sauce, and making steamed wonton purses w/ Thai peanut sauce and ginger wasabi sauce for dipping.

Just wondering if anyone is offering anything different. Thanks, Becky though! Those are good ideas! I'm liking the idea of the appetizers. Still haven't tried the steamed wonton purses. Maybe I will today. :)
