Despite the snow, rain and ice on the roads and sidewalks, a few people did show up, and it was a nice mellow event, that included the annual gingerbread massacre.

More Xmas Eve Party Pics posted here.

With Gingerbread Mayhem

1) Sylvani asleep by the tree. (Yes, there are too many pictures of my cat. I think it’s because he never bitches about having his picture taken.)

2) At the party. (L) Ivo and Laurie, (Back of heads) Nancy and Michael, (R, near to far) Isaac, Miwa and Jason.

3) Gingerbread mayhem this year includes: Graveyard with zombies coming up out of the ground, crucified gingerbread men, and one staked to the door of the house, cannibalism on the roof, heads on stakes by the sugar cube fence, and a face on the side of the house that is crying blood. (Also a vampire attack on the far side of the house. See extra detail pictures below.) I don’t know why there is always so much mayhem.
