We LOVE crafting parties. Had so much fun at the Pumpkin Carving party the last two years we're having another craft party for Xmas and making Gingerbread Houses.

Here's the scoop:

1. You bring the gingerbread house frame that you either make at home or purchase. Some people use Graham Crackers. Also bring something to carry it away like a cookie sheet.

2. We'll have some frosting to "glue" the sides together but if you have some, bring that too. Or, construct the house at home. Up to you.

3. We'll provide the candy and other decor like gumdrops, peppermint candies, candy canes, chocolate kisses, shredded coconut, etc. And, of course, the beer. We'll make sure to have something on that pairs well with gingerbread and candy, like a nice Imperial Stout.

And, we're going to turn this into a fun and friendly competition. Winner gets something. Still working on what that is. We'll also be playing holiday music to get everyone in the mood.

Cheers! See you Sunday.
