The house smells absolutely wonderful. Celeste is in the kitchen making a Gingerbread house. She has been working on it every night for about a week now. She’s a very talented young lady. From what I have seen so far, it’s going to be absolutely beautiful. Little Joe ends up with more Gingerbread than the house does it seems sometimes because Celeste wants it to be perfect and if it’s not, there stands Little Joe ready to eat the imperfections.
Oh I don’t think I told you that we’re having a Gingerbread house contest this weekend. First prize is a $100 gift card and a weekend stay here whenever you choose. Second place is $75 and one nights stay. Third place is a $50 gift card. So far we have 10 contestants that I am sure of. There are 8 other applications that haven’t come back in yet so they could still be in the contest too. Most of the contestants are locals. We do this every year and then leave the houses up for viewing by my customers.
Last years winner also sold theirs to a lady that paid $150 for it. I almost fell over. It was a big Gingerbread house and it was beautiful but everything has to be edible and I guess they could be kept for a while. I don’t know. Anyway, Celeste is making the barn, animals and manger scene. So far, it’s absolutely gorgeous. I can’t wait to see it when she’s totally finished. No I’m not one of the judges. There are judges that come here from other contests to judge them. Here’s one from last year. Isn’t it amazing?
