Decorate for Pizza

The First Annual Holiday Decorations Contest is underway, and oh yes, our department will win. Picture Clark W. Griswold decorating his office. We came up with a truly original idea: The Workspace Gingerbread House. When our spies went out to see what the other floors had created, it was realized that our idea was quite unoriginal and our first attempts at decorating were below par. So, there was more brainstorming and online image hunting to make our floor superior than the rest. Currently, our gingerbread house looks dilapidated and the walls are covered with plain packing paper, but its a "work-in-progress" as one employee stated. High hopes...

In an email for additional supplies, you can sense the competitive edge we have:

Hello Workspace!
Your decorations committee needs your help if we're going to win this! Please bring in any toilet paper, paper towel, or wrapping paper rolls that you have around the house. Also, if you have any accents that you think will go well with our gingerbread theme, bring those too! Remember, not only do we win a pizza party, but we win the first annual Holiday Decorations Contest TROPHY!
Thanks for your help!


I am imagining what "accents" I can donate, but I have no idea what the committee is looking for. I suggested people bring in real candy for decoration, since our department has an eating problem, and then everyone could just eat the decorations down instead of throwing them all away. I was joking, of course, but I think some people thought it was a great idea. I will update with the progress of our gingerbread house. When a project involves food as a prize, the department has a special dedication towards winning.
