Gingerbread Houses: This Holiday Start a New Family Tradition

One exceptional talent and hobby my mom, Georgia, passed on is homemade Gingerbread house baking and crafting. The tradition began during the Christmas season of 1978 and continues in our family to this day. My mom’s homemade Gingerbread houses became a coveted holiday gift. Everyone who knew my mom’s tradition would anticipate receiving one. Indeed labor of love, my mom produced dozens, sometimes into the wee hours of the night, each Christmas season.  Over the past decade, I have become the primary Gingerbread maker of the family. My operation has not surpassed the dozens yet, but the process brings joy and nostalgia that now my children partake.

By popular request I have created a short Gingerbread House guide complete with original recipe, decorating tips and pattern.  Gingerbread Houses make great gifts, and are a way to connect with family, get into the Holiday spirit and enjoy sweet spiced aromas throughout the house. I hope you enjoy the recipe and begin a new family Holiday Tradition!

Happy Holidays!
