Aaahhh the old cookie throw.....how it brings me back! I remember Christmas of 95....the year Grandma took a reindeer cookie to the eye. What memories!
I believe Santa started the cookie throwing to keep those pesky elves in line. Either that is how it started, or Irish families, drunk on the nog, got disorderly....I can't seem to remember.
Either way it is fun for all ages.
Merry Christmas Kenny!
Ps I'm Irish too, if I offended anyone.

I could do without the White Russians but the ribeye, eggs and bacon sounds like a hit. Ours have changed over the years as the kids grew up. Now we get up, have some coffee and some home baked sweets, then sit and open the gifts, get dressed and then everyone has some kind of job in the kitchen getting dinner ready for the rest of the family and friend who will join us. I have found though working together in the kitchen has brought us closer, it seems to make us not just family but a teem of friends too. We laugh a lot and act silly, and every once in a while you'll hear a little sigh by someone of contentment. That's a beautiful sound. Hope yours is Happy.

That's a new one on me. Is this somthing both sides of your family does or only one? I bet there's a really cute story to go along with your family tradition. Ask around, especially the older family members, and maybe share it with us.

my uncle Jim threw a tire iron at me one Christmas
my pet monkey threw poop at me one Christmas
my sisters baby threw up on me one Christmas
but nobody threw something I like, like COOKIES at me one Christmas.
you are very lucky to have a family like that

Sounds like some boorish thing that would be done at a frat house.

We don't do that, must be a local or family thing.
