From Farmhouse to The Big Apple to North Pole Gingerbread Part #8

# 1 Thatched Roof Farm House
People celebrate Christmas from all kinds of habitations including farmhouses.#2 The Big Apple
And they celebrate in the cities with advertisements on buildings for Target and Coca-cola. And let's not forget movies like Twilight-does there seem to be a small fad for Edward Cullen among the gingerbread makers this year?
#3 North Pole Sweets
And what is something that they celebrate? Why, sweets! And some of the best sweets come from the North Pole.
(Please know that this is the materialistic and commercial celebration of Christmas-the birth of the Saviour of the World is the meaningful part and the focus of our lives but I think we are also here to enjoy things and the Festival of Trees is very enjoyable. Plus the Festival of Trees along with the accompanying gingerbread houses and wreaths and play cabins and other trappings represent a beautiful example of charity at work of helping others by raising money through donations and volunteers for Primary Children's Hospital.)
