Recap: Holiday Cocktails & Cookie Swap 2015

December 9, 2015 · WCC Administr@tr · 3 Comments

First off, my Holiday Cookie Swap started with football! The Chicago Bears were playing against the San Francisco 49ers and I put out a spread of various appetizers.

At halftime, we had a lunch buffet. I set up the kitchen with a buffet of dishes to accompany a holiday spiral ham with my favorite Hook Up Crock Pot entertainment system on one side. Next to it was salad, salad toppings and fresh baked rolls with butter…
