The Houston Chronicle's Craig Hlavaty shares the biggest holiday treat you're likely to encounter: AggieLand's 36-million-calorie gingerbread house that's 65 by 45 feet tall. Stop in before Dec. 14 for a peek at the place. "Built by the Texas A&M Traditions Club, the house took nearly a month to build. It was constructed using 1,800 pounds of butter, 7,200 eggs, 7,200 pounds of flour and close to 3,000 pounds of brown sugar. Add to this the 22,000 piece of candy that are attached to it."
