Why not get a bunch of girls together on a gloomy Monday to make gingerbread houses? Today, that is what I did with 5 of my new girlfriends. Homemade gingerbread is a great way to celebrate, but it might be something you only have to do once in a lifetime...we started working on the houses at 10am and I gave up for a "break" at 4pm. I have to go back to finish tomorrow!
