GINGERBREAD HOUSE CONTEST
My office organizes an
annual Gingerbread house design contest. It’s a labor of love that gets us into
the holiday spirit. Two teams tagged ‘Red’ and ‘Blue' engage in erecting the
most beautiful structures. It’s fun to see who can make the best decorated gingerbread
house. Combining mini marshmallows, gumdrops, icing sugar, candy, spices and
sprinkle.
The Gingerbread houses
are displayed in the open office on a raised platform. Staff vote for their
preferred house using the provided red and blue ballots. I led the Red team
this year and we worked hard on our edible house. My colleague, let's call her
Miss P, was in charge of the Blue team. Team Red took the lead immediately.
Miss P let out a cry of disbelief
at the growing pile of red ballots in the transparent box. Then she said to
herself, "What the hell?"
She walked over and
stuffed all her blue ballots in the box.
"There! We
won," she declared. We all stared at her slack-jawed in shock.
"I never lose," she said.
You'd
think we were seven-year-old kids back in grade school.
