Here's what I think they're saying to each other:

Melchoir: "I told you we should have stopped at the 7-Eleven to ask for directions!" I could have gotten an espresso!"

Caspar: "Well, don't look at me! I brought the gold, frankincense & myrrh. No one mentioned we were supposed to bring a gingerbread house too!"

Balthazar: "Peace! You're upsetting the camel! If I trade in this Birkin bag, we might be able to buy a small gingerbread manger before the bubula arrives. Go. GO! What are you waiting for...a star to guide you?"

Here are the rules...

MATERIALS and CONSTRUCTION:
Except for the base, entries must be constructed and composed completely of edible materials.
The main structure should be constructed of at least 75% gingerbread, some of which should be
exposed. Edible materials are not limited to candies and icings. Use of gum paste, fondant,
pastillage, chocolate, modeling chocolate, royal icing, Isomalt, cast sugar, gelatin, and pressed sugar
is encouraged. Hot sugar (sugar or isomalt) techniques are reserved for the teen and adult
categories only ( due to the danger of working with hot sugar)! Any entry with non-edible
components will be automatically disqualified. No artificial display materials, such as Styrofoam or
interior lighting, are to be used in the construction or decoration of the entry. Candies must be
unwrapped and free of any non-edible materials such as lollipop sticks. Non-edible materials such
as paint and/or ribbon are approved (and encouraged) to decorate the outer edge of your
plywood base only (not to exceed the length and/or width of the base). All entries must be solely
constructed by the individual entering the competition. Teen, Youth and Child competitors may be
supervised, for safety precautions, by a parent, legal guardian, or classroom teacher. However, all
entry design, construction, and decoration must be done solely by the individual(s) entering the
competition. (Acceptable Supervision Example: When Teen, Youth, or Child competitors require
assistance with operating the oven and/or stovetop.)
