Merry Christmas, everybody!

Before it starts to get too hectic, I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Be safe out there!

Merry Christmas all!

Tonight I am finishing up by wrapping and making a big batch of Chai Tea in a Jar for bonus gifts for people. (This is after I get back from Vietnam Kitchen!)

Have a great holiday!

Merry Christmas, guys.

I'm getting ready to join battle for the last time with a gingerbread house I have come to hate (it's mutual). But that bitch will be finished tonight, or I'm going to pour gasoline on it and burn it in the alley.

Wish me luck.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Now on to a weekend full of shopping locally and baking hurriedly!

A lovely Holiday sentiment. Best of luck.

Merry Christmas, guys.

And to you, Marsha L.!

Wish me luck.

Luck! But if you do burn it, give me a call. I'll bring over the vid cam!

Same to you, Michelle, and to all our forum friends, and your families and loved ones. 'Tis this season to be jolly, fa la la la, la la, la la, la la."

And hey - if I prevail and manage to get it looking more like the building it's supposed to look like and less like the shack in "The Blair Witch Project", I'll post a picture of it myself!

But, hey, everyone, I'm mostly kidding. I love Christmas! I just hate this gingerbread house because I had such high hopes (and I'm such an unrealistic perfectionist). I AM going to finish it though - one way or the other (royal icing or gasoline? who knows? I'll keep you posted.)

Hee hee.

So. Did you burn or ice the b*tch?

Hey Marsha, send us a picture when you're finished. Buon Natale to all!

Merry Christmas to all of you as well.

The happiest of Holidays to everyone!!!!!

Just a couple of holiday smiles...

I did actually reign supreme over the gingerbread house, but we ran it over and set it up during the dinner rush and I FORGOT TO BRING THE CAMERA!!!

I'll get a picture today or tomorrow....sorry, guys. Happy last-minute shopping.

Congratulations! - I'd love to see it. Your original description of wrestling with it cracked me up. Even if we're not bakers, we all have our own "gingerbread house" issues to deal with from time to time, so I know the feeling. Merry Christmas.
