Before viewing the entries, I must reveal two major TWISTS in the plot:
1. This year's "gingerbread houses" aren't made of gingerbread!
Nope, they're not your classic graham cracker or milk carton house either!
This year we used Matzo.
Apparently, Matzo houses are a thing...? We weren't aware of this new cultural awakening. We weren't trying to stay hip with new trends. We were doing just as we had in years past -using what we had. And we had a case of Matzo. It was expired. And the rest is history.
2. Some of this year's "gingerbread houses" aren't even houses!
They are, however, completely edible (not that you'd want to eat any of them), and held together with a royal icing "glue". So, they were created in a gingerbread house style - with a stale Matzo flair.
The artist behind each entry will not be revealed until the voting results are in.

This "gingerbread house" is the cheerful creation of a true chicken lover - quaint, colorful, and carefully designed.
This "gingerbread house" is a nod to renovation projects and the classic case of "almost finished."
This "gingerbread house" isn't a house at all, but a bold display of creativity and resourcefulness.
I'm working on a post with a sneak peek "Behind the Scenes of our Matzo House Construction." I will post the link here when it is ready. Or you can Subscribe and receive new posts by email!
