Fail
(Or Why Christmas Traditions aren't Always so Charming)
So the annual gingerbread house didn't go so well this year.
There was a lack of understanding concerning the "icing set up" time between the builder and decorators.
The builder did her job satisfactorily but when stepped away during "icing set up" time (probably do something important like retrieve a cat from the top of the Christmas tree), the decorators were impatient and swooped in with 500 pounds of additional icing and candy.
And the poor house, not "set up", collapsed under the weight. The damage was deemed irreparable by the claims adjuster.
The decorators were fired and the builder quit. The clean up crew is still in the process of removing the debris.
I guess there's always next year.
