snurriIt's real.
I've mentioned Cookie Day to a few folks over the years, and they mostly give me incredulous looks. Here's some proof. We made over 4000 cookies this year, but didn't break the record. Three families; seventeen adults at least made an appearance (some did no work, AHEM), and five kids tried their hands at glopping frosting and colored sugar onto cutouts. The moms do most of the work ahead of time, making up dough; the rest of us help with the ball-rolling, baking, counting, etc.
We've been doing this for thirty-one years.

A Defense of Management

But geez... I feel accomplished just to make thirty cookies at a time.
