The Gingerbread House

This is the gingerbread house that Ray got fed up with moments into icing the roof. He swore he just "didn't have a vision" and that he's "not creative." But I would beg to differ. If I really had a gingerbread house vision I wouldn't have gone for the Safeway kit. In fact, this year's kit you had to mix the icing yourself, one of the reasons I buy the kit in the first place. Who wants to mess with making the cementy stuff anyway?

I like that the snowman is slouched over, like he's too lazy to even try to be a snowman. Some day I'll go bananas and pull a Frank Lloyd Wright of gingerbread houses. But I'd have to be willing to come up with a vision and purchase bad-tasting-but-pretty candies to fulfill that vision. And buying yucky candies goes against my nature.
