West Seattle holiday scenes: Gingerbread creations

While things are quiet on this Christmas Day, another set of West Seattle holiday scenes we’ve been saving up – photos from a gingerbread-house-making event at West Seattle Christian Church earlier this month.

We shot most of our photos at kid’s-eye level, but builders of all ages participated. The result here was described as “gingerbread house after an earthquake”:

The next one might qualify for the label “gingerbread doghouse”:

Some builders eschewed the “house” shape altogether:

But there’s also beauty in tradition:

Thanks to WSCC and EVERYONE around West Seattle who has sponsored fun holiday events, including many that doubled as charity fundraisers/donation drives, for the community this season (many of which we were honored to feature on our West Seattle Holidays page, which is now down to today and New Year’s Eve/Day – please let us know if you are having a public New Year’s event that’s not on the page yet).

    What fun! Love that vertical one – looks like a Christmas rocket ship.

    The “earthquake” one looks like what I’d end up with trying to create one of the others! :lol:
