So last year, the wonderful people at River City Casino did this deal with the Center for Hearing and Speech where the reservation cost of getting a spot at a giant gingerbread house and having wonderful specially prepared Christmas food, went straight to the Center. It was $20 a reservation and the idea was to get enough people to reserve and then that money gets donated straight to the Center for Hearing and Speech.
They are doing it again this year.

Not only that, but because they offered a breakfast selection, my kids had their food of delicious food.
I have to say this as well, this time, the interior of the gingerbread house looks so much more elegant:
