Custom Homes for the Holidays

Per tradition, my family endeavors to construct Homes for the Holidays using only the finest in edible materials. Notice I did not say we endeavor to construct only the finest of homes. Au contraire, we usually end up making a mockery of innocent little ginerbread houses and produce less than desirable holiday abodes. Here is our 2007 Homes for the Holidays Listing:

Backwoods Christmas Cottage--a real bargain for anyone wishing to spend Christmas tucked away from civilization. Home surrounded by trees and friendly forest critters. Amenities include open ventilation system, red frosted glass windows and mostly-working, multi-colored Christmas lights. Minor repairs needed on front door, all windows, upstairs balcony and roof before move-in.
Church to home conversion--Spacious find for multiple family living or single family living with ample room. 23 bedrooms, commercial sized kitchen, full-sized gym. Comes furnished with 80 pews, 7 pianos, 1 organ and over 200 folding chairs. Plenty of parking space for those holiday parties.


Fixer Upper Foreclosure--This work-in-progress is perfect for anyone looking for a challenging remodeling/rebuilding project for the holidays (or the next 5 holiday seasons). Agent will pay the first interested party to move into this house. Car and jack included with home. (Sorry, car cannot be moved from front yard--no engine or tires.)

Jamaican Flavor--This stately Jamaican palace simply screams holiday celebrating! Lush grass and clear pools abound. Working draw bridge and moat keep uninvited visitors and family at bay. Plenty of shrubbery and palm trees to adorn with festive lights.

I think I will take the one with the car. If someone is willing to pay you to live there how bad can it be. Come on free rent!!!!
