Gingerbread House Day
On December 12th, Gingerbread House Day honors a family tradition for many around the country.
Gregory of Nicopolis, an Armenian monk, introduced gingerbread to Europe around 992 AD and taught French Christians how to bake it. Since gingerbread was often used in religious ceremonies, monks baked to be strong enough to be moulded into saint portraits.
We can't complain about a gingerbread house, but we can't blame the Brothers' Grimm for a gingerbread house. They introduce an evil witch who lives in a gingerbread house in Hansel and Gretel's story. It didn't take long for the German gingerbread guilds to get excited about the idea. Gingerbread houses were put to a more festive use soon, when making snowy cottages made from the spicy-sweet treat..
We'll spend the day baking, cutting, and building to our hearts' delight today. Kits are a step behind in the process, so we can get right to building our winter wonderlands.
