Christmas on Kiawah Island

The Sanctuary Inn on Kiawah Island is a relatively new hotel that is done in the grand southern tradition. At Christmastime, in the main hall, the Inn puts a gingerbread house as its centerpiece. This Christmas, a harried Santa Claus comes upon a kitchen scene that has him wondering how he ever will deliver on time those sugarplums to the world's children.

Santa comes upon kitchen chaos.

"We've got it under control, Santa!"

Santa's helper sure is busy.

The gingerbread men are imps in the kitchen.

Here's a fresh one.

This elf measures out the spices.

Avast matey! Swab up that chocolate!
