New for Christmas 2008, Sprint brings us "The Gingerbread Man with Everything." You betcha--it's an interactive website where you can decorate your own spice cookie, save it and send it to all your friends.
So for those of you who have finished shopping, cooking, decorating, and card writing, maybe you can fill a few minutes here. Okay, so I'm not finished with any of the above activities, but I had to try it out anyway.
My gingerbread man is actually a woman. She is the blond with the stunning off-the-shoulder purple, pink and yellow gown. I finished mine and then looked at the gallery--I should have spent my time more productively.
