CHNC challenge 182: include a building (or part of one)

There's never ever only been one entry by this stage in the week. I'm beginning to wonder whether anyone else is going to add their entry. There are four sponsors this week and, obviously, we need more entries to allocate prizes. I've never added a clause that there needs to be a minimum number of entries to be able to give the prizes, but perhaps I need to do so for this challenge. Perhaps things will suddenly pick up, but I get the feeling that no one likes the theme of the challenge - I didn't think it was difficult, but perhaps it is.

Beautiful gold and silver creations for last week's challenge - so inspirational. Thank you for your support once again.

Please note that I publish the prize winners here and on our facebook page, but don't notify winners individually - it is up to you all to check to see if you have won and email me as requested. There are one or two unclaimed prizes, so it's worth having a look back to see if you were a winner.

Before I get on to today's challenge, I need to let you know the winners of challenge 181.

Now it's over to you. As usual, you can use any materials, any techniques - and this week I'd like to see a building on your Christmas creation - perhaps a church, a house, or part of a house ... any building, more than one building, or part of a building ... I'm sure you will have ideas.

You can enter as many times as you wish  and also link to any other challenges that allow you to do so, but new work only, please.
