The Leaning Tree of Christmas

We have a family tradition of making a gingerbread house (or something) every year. We have done several houses and a train. However, it NEVER has a happy ending. Our house usually crumbles before we even finish decorating it! At least it is always good to eat!

This year, we decided to go simple in order to be successful. We made a gingerbread Christmas tree. All you have to do is ice each layer and stack them. Simple, right? Well, not so much. Our tree is now named "The Leaning Tree of Christmas." Any suggestions for next year???
