Short & Sweet

I'm thinking of keeping the Christmas letter short & sweet this year. Something along the lines of...
Sweet Highlights from our Year…Sold our townhouse & bought a new(not to scale)
Babydue in 4 months!
D (8) was baptized. Miss H (5) loves Kindergarten. Our lil'Stinker (3) keeps us smiling! Hope you’ve had many sweet moments as well. We wish you joy as we remember the birth & life of our Savior.

(Sooo... just in case the month gets away from me b/f making & mailing them, now you know what it WOULD have looked like. And we DO hope you have a Merry Christmas!)

Sweet "Home sweet gingerbread Homes"

Our townhouse hasn't sold yet. We've had 4 showings and really positive feedback, but no offers & it's hard to keep cleaning & stay hopeful week after week, but we're trying...
We have an idea of doing an open house with a GINGERBREAD theme. I found these adorable mini-gingerbread houses to serve w/ hot chocolate on notmartha.org
So, I'm excited about that. And if we don't get many visitors for the open house, then we'll just have to throw a party afterwards & show off the cutest gingerbread houses ever made!

Here's the gingerbread "townhouse" I made to look like the house we're selling (2 Story w/ balcony).

Anyone who has tips/ideas on selling a house in a buyer's market, please pass them along.
