One of my favorite Christmas traditions is creating a gingerbread house with my boys! We never build anything spectacular…in fact, some years the sweet little dwellings must have looked pretty pathetic to the untrained eye! But the eyes of a mother see nothing less than a grand castle perched high on a cake plate–representing more than just a traditional craft but an evening of family fun and cherished memories for years to come! No matter how you go about it…bake your own or purchase a kit…making a gingerbread house is a lovely way to bring the family together for a night of merriment! (a little mess making too…but it’s not the holiday without some sprinkles on the floor!) Gather up a selection of candies and tie on the aprons…it’s time to craft a home
