Announcing a Holiday Cookie Recipe Swap to Celebrate St. Nicholas Eve, December 5th

I am on a mission! A Winter Holiday Cookie Mission!

On December 5th - St. Nicholas Eve - Gingerbread Snowflakes is going to host a Holiday Cookie Recipe Swap!

My hope is to host cookie recipes (or special holiday treats) from as many different countries around the world as possible. Google Analytics tells me that I have readers all over the world, so I am hoping many will join in and share a favorite cookie recipe that is a part of their family holiday traditions.

To participate, all you will have to do is to post your cookie recipe on your own blog on December 4th or 5th. You can make a "how-to" post or simply post the recipe with a photo.

There will be a special link system set up on my St. Nicholas Eve post that will allow you to copy and paste your photo and your post URL and through the magic of the internet, your recipe photo and the link will appear on my post!

Readers interested in making any of the goodies can simply click on the link back to the site to get the recipe!

I realize there are tons of recipes available on the big recipe sites! But I have been discovering that it is those lovely family recipes that are the real gems. And I am hoping that sharing our recipes on the swap and then baking some of them for our own families will give all of us an opportunity to share in each other's cultures and holiday celebrations.

If you have spent any time at all with me, you know I am all about that!

There is nothing to do right now! Just, please, start thinking about what recipe you would most like to share, and mark your calendar. I would love it if you would e-mail me and let me know if you will be joining me in December, but it is not necessary.

I will be posting a reminder in late November.

I hope to see each of you right here on December 5th!
