Gingerbread Houses

Sometimes I have fabulous ideas.  I just can't even contain the awesome powers of my mind.  This year I realized gingerbread houses are passe.  It's simply too much work to bake, cut, and prep the gingerbread for our houses.  Instead we will do log cabins, constructed from giant pretzels!  Everyone can design their own!  They will look quaint and charming and remind us of the simple joys of the season!

They looked, well...sad. :-(

 It was still fun, but we might stick with traditional gingerbread houses next year.
