I think I have done it.
I have made my gingerbread magnum opus.
I did not do it alone: Kristina helped with a good chunk of the decorating.
Pre-decoration, it looked sad:

My sweet house and incoming Horse.
I was hoping to use my days off to write up a recap of Netflix’s Deaf U, but my laptop had other plans. The lock screen would appear for a fraction of a second before the computer shuts down. It was infuriating, although it also meant I was able to get started on this year’s gingerbread house.
