These gingerbread houses get extreme. See a 67-foot house, replicas of Hogwarts Castle and St. Basil's Cathedral, a gingerbread town, and more!

Your daily funny…because we all suck at something
What Every State in the U.S. is Worst at (from Yahoo!/Thrillist)
Michigan: Worst roads
8 Mile helped put Detroit back on the Hollywood map. Too bad every other mile in the state is as terrible as the Tigers in this year’s playoffs, since Michigan spends the least per capita on its roads and bridges, at $174 per person annually.
Harsh, but true. Find more tough love for the states here.

Work Break
Been packing our house up to make room for a big project. It got tedious, so I took a break and sketched this idea for front porch planters. The pine boughs and twigs should look good in color.
Now, to put on a pot of slow-simmer spaghetti sauce, open some wine, and see what happens.

Work on Thanksgiving?
Don't we already work on Thanksgiving? Cooking, eating, watching, or playing football then panicking about the fact 2015 is basically a month away?
Let's not work any more than we already do. And let's give others a break. People deserve to spend the holiday with family, friends, pets—away from work. While I may want to get a jump-start on shopping, I don't really need to do it before the turkey is cold.
Having busted my hump at retail jobs and event installs during the holidays (in past lives), I cherished the actual holidays because I knew I'd get at least one day off. A day to enjoy family time, celebrate, and catch my breath. It was how I survived. Along with tons of help from family, friends, and food/coffee/sweets, you get the idea. So, if we get the day off, it seems only fair everyone should.
As Costco puts it, “Our employees work especially hard during the holiday season and we simply believe that they deserve the opportunity to spend Thanksgiving with their families.”
Well said.

Furious 7 - Official Trailer (HD)
We're a car family. We drive, work on, and dream a lot about cars. And it's no secret the adults around here enjoy the Fast and Furious movies. So, this is a big deal.
Even more than the fact this is sure to be a car stunt lover's kind of flick, this is Paul Walker's final film. He passed away before they wrapped the movie, but was so close with the cast and crew, they mourned his death then vowed to finish it in the heart-pounding, out-of-this-world style fans have come to expect. RIP Paul Walker.
