A great time of the year to get together

Before we all left for our holiday break there was time for Roy to whinge and complain about how cold it was at this time of the year in Indiana compared to the heat-wave conditions he is used to at Xmas in Sydney, Australia. He was missing his Christmas BBQ with burnt sausages and sand-encrusted salad, followed by a sunburned day at the beach. After much yawning and fake tears the rest of the group attacked a full size gingerbread house in the Purdue Memorial Union.
