Cape May's Great Cookie Exchange

The Cape May Elementary School cafeteria turns into Santa's bake shop every December for the Annual Great Cookie Exchange

Hundreds of kids young and old  bake, decorate and eat  holiday cookies to their  heart's content in this Cape May holiday ritual.   This free annual event, sponsored by the Center for Community Arts, also brings together artists, bakers, crafts people and volunteers.

Families make and decorate cookie baskets and holiday hats.  Santa is always on hand to hear last minute requests. And, for a dollar, a photographer snaps pictures of the cookie-covered and hat-festooned kiddies with Santa.

There are opportunities to win holiday gifts for kids and adults alike in the Great Cookie Exchange raffle.

Everyone's invited to bring cookies to share.  The festivities last from 6 to 8PM.
