    This sounds amazing! I love auctions and one that supports a worthy cause like taking care of our community’s families is definitely worthwhile. Christmas presents with a purpose, plus the perk of seeing some incredible gingerbread houses that will put my icing , gumdrop and gingerbread concoctions to shame.
