Entrants should mail -- or bring -- 14 (one dozen plus two) of their favorite holiday cookies, along with the recipe, to Postmaster Linda Dillard, Clallam Bay Post Office, 17203 Highway 112, Suite 1, Clallam Bay, WA 98326.
Entries must be received by 9 a.m. this coming Thursday to be judged.
Don't forget to include a recipe card with your 14 cookies.
In addition to cookies from Clallam Bay-Sekiu residents, entries in past contests have come from as far away as Sequim and Port Townsend.
Judges will do a taste test, and the winners in various categories will be announced during the post office's annual Customer Appreciation Day on Thursday.
Winners will be notified and will have their recipes appear in the Peninsula Daily News.
All the cookies will be served to parents and children as they get their pictures taken with Santa Claus as part Customer Appreciation Day.
Letters from children for Santa can also be hand-delivered to him.
To get a picture with Santa on -- he'll be at the post office from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. -- bring $1 and a can of food, or $2 without a can of food.
The money and canned food will go to the local food bank, said Dillard.
There will also be holiday photos from past years of local residents on the walls of the post office.
After his duties Thursday at the post office, Santa will participate at holiday lighting ceremonies in Clallam Bay, starting with Clallam Bay Park at 5:15 p.m.
For more information, phone Dillard at 360-963-2553.
