Happy Christmas Eve

Today has been a relatively quiet day, the venison stew is bubbling away in the slow cooker, I had an attempt to make Spätzle to go with it and the red cabbage came out of the jar. Trying to make the traditional German egg noodle/dumpling thing was enough excitement, but I think they turned out all right, in a random, home-made kind of way.
The gingerbread house was successfully assembled and joined the village of ceramic houses seen in the picture.
