EP 1178 - Tis the Season of the Cookie Monster

Crispy or chewy’ Palm-sized, or bite-sized’ Sprinkles or no’

One of the first signs that the holidays are close is the invite to participate in the Cookie Exchange.  Have you ever been involved in a cookie exchange’ I have and it was so much fun…but for others I know, this is the last thing that they want to participate in.

Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resilience and Celebrating National Cookie Exchange Week:

A Cookie Exchange doesn’t have to be a strictly C2C (cookie to cookie) transaction. At your workplace you can enjoy the holiday spirit by giving out cookies in exchange for smiles, holiday singing, or anything else you can think of to bring cheer to your colleagues.

Use the cookies as a way of fundraising to support a family in need.

Finally, make sure that if you are involved in a cookie exchange that it is fun and for connection. It shouldn’t be extra work or add to your stress-level…especially at this time of year.

When looking up National Cookie Exchange Week, I came across a site that told me what kind of a cookie I was…I am a Peanut Butter Cookie. I am not one to skimp on the finer things in life, and keeping my finances in check is crucial. You may want to check out that quiz.
