We have come to the end of the Christmas Countdown journey. I hope everyone enjoyed my posts. The very last house is noted as Reindeer Manor but, I don’t see any Reindeer. Oh, well. Have a grand New Year’s Eve and I will see you next year. ~Vic

I’m not entirely sure that the Earth Globe thing is gingerbread. I think the gingerbread people are stuck into a styrofoam ball. If that is a gingerbread ball, I want to see the “ball” cake pan.

I don’t know Jason Hawkins but, a buddy of mine, that runs the town’s hardware store, displayed this one. I am not surprised at all, either. He is a character and, apparently, so is the Hawkins guy. ~Vic

Yes. I have been gone for a while. I have been extremely busy with my significant other’s health issues…and my own. It is what it is. ~Vic

Back in 2020, I did a fifteen-day Christmas Countdown. Christmas 2021, I was busy with the Song Draft I was involved in from July to November. Plus, Christmas 2021 just sucked. Christmas 2022 wasn’t much better. I will do another “countdown” this year. Our small town likes to do gingerbread homes and scenes. Most of the time, kids are building these things but, some families work together. Some of these are impressive.
