2016 National Gingerbread House winner

>> happily, it's a house again, although I do give credit to the artistry behind figurine entrees.

However the event is called "The National Gingerbread HOUSE Competition"...not the "Make a foot-tall Bethlehem Magi and enter it in an event called "The National Gingerbread HOUSE Competition".

Personally, I think they should have two categories: structures and objects. Oddly, the organizers have yet to ask for my opinion.

That hanging chapel makes me nervous as hell!

my little AR brother! That's driving me crazy too! I want to shore it up with candy canes...

...and either move the table/chairs a safe distance away or put the taped outline of a squished gingerbread man there.

(Oh, I just let a disturbing part of my brain show, didn't I.)

What was with the angel on top of a pile of cocoa krispies??! How is that a house?
