Has anyone hosted one of these? If so, how did it go over and do you have any tips to share? Did you have a small gift exchange in addition (for example, Dirty Santa game, etc) or not?

I have hosted some and been to quite a few.

Everyone brings one dozen cookies for each person attending plus one more dozen to eat at the exhange.

All cookies should be pre-packaged in take home wrapping.

Everyone brings their own container to take cookies home in.

We just drink wine and have cookies- no games.

I don't particpate anymore as I love to bake and I found I was getting cookies from Costco, unbaked cookies, rice krispie squares etc, rather than the fancier Christmas cookies we used to exchange.

I've co-hosted one and we served soups and appetizers as well as seasonal drinks like mulled cider. We had our guests bring a couple of dozens of cookies to share and have at the party. Everyone took a few cookies from each batch and put them in the container they brought theirs in. We didn't have any games, just sat around and chatted. It was really nice.
