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.

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.

Cool, at work they are doing a contest between the departments for the voted most popular gingerbread house.

The youth at our church did that as a fund raiser one year. We voted with dollar bills and the money went toward the summer mission trip the youth participated in.
