Excellent.  2 parties for every meeting makes a happy place to live.

Last year I posted a video panorama of the Winslow Cohousing Gingerbread
House Complex (recreating the entire community in gingerbread).  This year
we did it again, but photographed the actual building of it.  So, if you
want to smile, and see an example of community building, click on one of the
links below to see a video of it.

By the way,  we also had a Hanukkah dinner,  a Swedish Christmas  dinner
complete with all the traditional Swedish specialties,  last night the
"boys" of cohousing (led by a few home from college) did their traditional
hamburger, french fries and milkshake dinner (attended by at least 50
people),  there was a small solistice celebration,  and we still have a
Christmas Eve put up a Christmas tree party,  a Christmas day big dinner,
and a New Year's Eve celebration to go (including a kids sleepover in the
common house).  I think we will be partied out by the time New Year's Day
comes.  (and different people attend different parties,  with no obligation,
but whoever shows up is the right set of people).

    I've posted the Gingerbread Building time lapse I showed last night!
    Make sure to turn on your computer's sound when viewing for best

    Enjoy!
