At an intimate gathering on Black Friday, a small group set out to make Gingerbread Houses… to create magnificent architectural structures suitable for seasonal display.
It’s sad to say that this small, intimate group if not the craftiest bunch in the world. The construction of the gingerbread homes lacked a certain something, and the end result was caved in wall and roofs that slid off. Thank goodness for mega blocks, which served well as a stable surface to use in helping the roofs to “set” properly.
There was one overachiever in the group whose house stayed together, all candies remained in place, and even had some intentional icicles. But the good, the bad, and the ugly – we shall all remain nameless.
I totally enjoyed myself, but next year we’re doing gingerbread cookies – screw the houses.
We also got my tree up (for the first time in years) and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care. And one of my holiday films (The Holiday) has already been knocked off the list. Yay!

Hilarious!!! and sooo much fun. Cookies do sound like a better bet.
