Ginger Bread Contest, Part 2!

Our marketing department decided that they would like to try their hands at building the Gingerbread houses of their dreams, and the results were quite breathtaking, I must say.

The contest was very competitive, and they had some special rules that allowed for the creativity to flow free. Darrin S, marketing genius, volunteered his garage as a spare parts warehouse, and each gingerbread house had to have a piece of junk used in a creative way. In true Las Vegas fashion, the winning entry was a gingerbread slot-machine, created by Holly and Darrin, with the runner up being a Gingerbread Picasso, from Mig and Christa.

Good job, you marketing geniuses! I was going to get a quote from the winner, but Darrin is actually at home with he and his wife's brand new baby boy! Congrats, Darrin!

At Zappos.com, many traditions have stayed with us through the years, and the one big Christmas tradition has been the admiration that we all have for ugly Christmas sweaters. Or lack of admiration, not sure which is more accurate. It started many a year ago with a party in which everyone was expected to attend wearing the ugliest Christmas sweater that their local thrift shop had on the racks. And over the years, man, there have been some bad ones. This year is no exception.

Take a look below.
