You could try a gingerbread house, gingerbread isn't too bad to make... though I must admit I always buy mine ready done and just assemble them with icing and sweets.

Ukrainian Christmas Spiderweb Legend

One family in the village was too poor to have a decorated Christmas tree in their house. The mother had hung a few meager nuts and fruits on the small tree outside their door in hopes of bringing some cheer to her childrens' Christmas Day celebration.

On Christmas Eve, the spiders heard her prayers and hung their webs all over the tree. As the sun came up, its rays glittered and sparkled on the dew that was sprinkled on the webs and turned them to silver and gold.

then you must have screwed up. Maybe if you had washed your hands after using the bathroom it would have tasted better.

by the way where did you find white cabbage ? I've never been able to find white cabbage in the UK good enough to make stuffed cabbage. Curly leaf sure, but not white in the 2 years I was there.

your lying is unbecoming and childish.

I had some kind of bread made with goat's milk and it had a walnut and brown sugar filling. It was great. Have no idea what nation makes it for Christmas, just know it was a Euro recipe. Boy, I would love to have that stuff again.
