Every year at Christmas, Roberta sent cookies through the mail to her friends all over the world. Distance did not matter. If someone was part of her circle, she wanted them to have that little piece of holiday happiness from her.

Roberta’s Christmas cookies became a tradition. They were beautiful, carefully made, and very much Roberta. She was that good.

One year, the story goes, her mom ate the cookies before they could be sent out. So Roberta simply made them all over again, because getting those cookies to people mattered to her. It was not just about baking. It was about making sure people that she loved (and there were many) felt remembered during the holidays.

A sweet behind-the-scenes moment from getting ready for the in 2025: Carla packaging cookies for our guests in the spirit of Roberta Vaughan.
Roberta sent cookies through the mail every year to friends all over the world. Over time, Roberta’s Christmas cookies became their own tradition.

These were such a fun part of the gathering, and the cookies were seriously good. Huge thanks to Carla for putting them together, and to Paul Quinn’s Midnight Cookie Co. for selling them to us at cost so we could share them with everyone!

Which ’90s FMV game got under your skin the most?

Our Horror & Scandals display looks back at the games that made FMV feel dangerous, strange, and hard to ignore. Night Trap. Phantasmagoria. Gabriel Knight 2. Ripper. Harvester, and more!
Big boxes, real actors, fake blood, bad press, bold risks, and the moment games started showing up in news stories, store debates, ratings fights, and angry living-room arguments.
