The Gingerbread House Contest was just awesome. Some of the entries were pretty spectacular, and there was lots of time, energy, love, and candy put into them. I was there on Sunday and the Bellingham Cruise Terminal was packed with people enjoying the activities of the day, singers, dancers, Santa, and lots of Gingerbread. Here are some of the entries for those of you from far away or from nearby who didn't make it.
