Thanks MamaD.
Here in Texas we are definitely outnumbered.
I think our gingerbread house was out voted because they let the employees vote in addition to the guests and housekeeping of course brought in their entire families to vote. They copied the picture on the box rather than being inventive like we were plus they had two days head start. We went out and bought our own decorations.
When I first volunteered to help there were two people who would judge, so an appeal will be filed. LOL
Merry Christmas
Just got back from all the festivities........we won the contest. :D
