Sweetliberty reports that her grandson will like Lynne Cheney's book. (That he will!) So it looks like you're the lucky winner of Carlo3b's Clinton Legacy Cookbook!
To: sweetliberty; Mudboy Slim
The judges did not fail to notice the American flag hanging in your gingerbread village. That's teaching the little ones Right. We think Lynne Cheney would be happy that her work was going to you and yours!
To: FreeTheHostages; Mudboy Slim
I guess I just couldn't believe that the 30-foot house was ever real. I will never, never, never make any changes to my story. It was a big fat lie from the start and I'm sticking to it.

It was an unforgettable day of fun with lots of prime humor. It was a blast!
To: Flyer
ROFL. It was great fun. As I guess you can tell from the judges' story, it was the kind-of wonderfully embroidered lie that was either going to place first or slip to Honorable Mention. Depending upon, in the long run, how we felt about that particular breed of lie!
At the end of the day, in a thread yesterday where ladtx was happy to report no anniversaries of deaths, it's hard to resist a lady who builds gingerbread villages for her relatives, keeps a scrapbook memory of them, and is sure to post the American flag out there in the village for the young ones to reflect upon. At the end of the day, we had to go with the Truth.
I dunno, maybe if the conservative politics had gotten into it somehow? Like maybe Gilligan knocked the house over in his haste to rescue a child from a Democratic propagandist?

maybe if the conservative politics had gotten into it somehow? Thanks for the hint - now I'm ready for next year!

And the Lynne Cheney book is great! Your grandson will gain a lot from it and you will enjoy it, too!

Well, my feelings would be hurt if I hadn't lost out to such great competitors. As it is, I can only congratulate them ...... and figure out better bribes for next year ..... hehe!
It was great fun! Y'all did a grand job with the judging!

Good, kayak, 'cause yours was another one-of-a-kind sorta house that was hard to even rank in a linear order with the orders. God Bless the White House pastry chef!
Mudboy, it looks like they're not forming a posse to kill us.
Which is good, because this is about to happen ALL OVER again, if you know what I mean! I say, this next time, let's take our time and tell them to wait until Saturday for an answer, OK? This judging is *hard* work! Especially with all the drinking involved. I need some time to get sober. ;)

"and figure out better bribes for next year"
In the bribe category, I was partial to daisyscarlett's gingerbread man that was animated by bites being taken out of him! Wherever do these hostesses FIND these things?!!
And thanks again to Billie! That as the most *beautifully* decorated thread.
To: Aquamarine; TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!
Aqua, you're not kidding about fun. I went to sleep and tararaboomdeaygorelosttoday went on a *tear* through the 400 series of the thread. Just hilarious posts. True, not all of them seemed to have something to do with gingerbread, but tara was just hilarious!

Congratulations one and all. It was a FUN thread from start to finish.
When's the next contest?
To: Diver Dave; Billie
Psst, Billie would kill me if I told you exactly when the next contest is, BUT I think it's fair to say that there's one more in December and you won't have to wait long.

Congratulations to you sweetliberty and also to tgsltakoma and gaila. All of your entries were great and you deserve the kudos and prizes...(Are these prizes for real or are they "cyberprizes"?
Thanks to FTH and MS-it was a great thread-lots of entertainment and we all learned lots about gingerbread houses...
Happy Holidays!
Let it Snow!
