953 nut 62,922 #1 Posted 2 hours ago December twelfth is Gingerbread House Day, get creative decorating a tiny, edible home and have a friendly competition with family to see who can make the tastiest, prettiest, gingery house. Gingerbread houses are a favorite holiday pastime with families, be it with parents, grandparents, or even both! But these delicious, decorative bread houses have always been a staple of the holiday season for as long as people can remember. Where did they come from? Who came up with the idea? To answer those questions, we must follow the ghost of holiday’s past into the history of Gingerbread House Day! We can all agree that the best part of the process is eating the delicious gingerbread and decorations, no matter whether you managed to turn it into a work of art beforehand or not. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 12,405 #2 Posted 1 hour ago My wife will be heading to the elementary school this afternoon to assist with their gingerbread house building day. She will be the 'foremen' of a two person crew consisting of our granddaughter in 3rd grade and a kindergarten student. I never knew this was Gingerbread House Day but, being in construction all my life, I do understand the need for safety and building codes. I sent this to her with hopes she'll show it to the students prior to construction. I'm sure the International Brotherhood of Gummy Bears would appreciate it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
