This is a commitment to Christmas. Monika Orrey, 47, had only worked at her new job as a financial services manager for two months when the company announced a workspace decorating competition. According to Good News Network, the California woman threw herself into it. Orrey spent eight hours on a Sunday turning her cubicle into a life-size gingerbread house.

To create her festive wonderland, the Christmas fanatic collected cardboard, used decorations she had on hand, and a few items from the dollar store. Orrey said her biggest expense was tape. It was well worth it. The result is amazing. Many of her co-workers brought their kids to see it. And, yes, Monika won the contest. You can see a video of her gingerbread cubicle HERE.
