And, by gingerbread house, I of course mean: intricate recreation of a famous architectural wonder in gingerbread. This year’s is the beautiful Santa Maria della Salute in Venice, which Anastasia and I had the great fortune to visit when we were there in 2000:

You may recall that, last year, Curtis’ gingerbread house was a similarly stunning recreation of l’Opéra national de Paris – in gingerbread!

OK, extra bonus feature this year: after visiting his family in Salt Lake City, Curtis also made this video called “Holiday Horrors!” It’s super awesomely holiday horror hilarious! A perfect way to say goodbye to the 2008 holidays.

The photos here account for all of us in some way, but both Colin and Mary turned away from the camera, so only their backs are included. I’ll have to be more diligent next time. Enjoy!

If that’s too disturbing for you, my first version elf me is maybe a little less so. Still, imagine how disturbing it would be if I had just done what I was supposed to do?

This year, things have stepped up a notch, as I just received a video of Curtis making this year’s model: the Paris Opera House. Check this out!
