The cookies have been eaten and the presents opened. All told there was lots of holiday cheer to go around for TJA.
In November, several ladies gave Betty Crocker and Martha Stewart a challenge, at the first TJA cookie exchange. Hosted by new member Trisha Ashford and her parents it was a fun chance to sample a delicious assortment of cookies and traded recipe ideas. Cookies ranged from classic peanut butter to unusually delicious lentil cookies and even a pumpkin twist on classic chocolate chip. Everyone left with a plateful of treats to keep the sugar rush going long after the party ended!
In December, there was a record turnout for the annual holiday social. Even after wind knocked out power for several days, hostess Mary Jayne was determined to make the party a success. Fortunately the lights came back on just in time, and everyone enjoyed the potluck dinner and deserts.
Of course, no TJA holiday party is complete without the white elephant gift exchange. Popular items this year included a donut maker, Snuggie, popcorn set, and super cute cleaning/dish gloves.
