This is a picture of the gingerbread house that my mom and I put together the other day. I made the icicle on the side, which I think look alright; but it is hard to force the sugar through that special plastic thing they give you. Maybe, next I’ll try making another gingerbread house sometime and make it look real nice. I think I made the picture look nice though so enjoy and just a reminder, prints of all the pictures you see on this site can be obtained from RIFOTO.COM and they are very reasonably priced too. So get your holiday prints from there, and remeber what you see on here are just the low resolution versions. The ones uploaded to the other site are higher resolution versions. Alright now that I got my Sales Promotion for my photos in, back to the gingerbread. The gingerbread house apparently has it’s origins in Germany in the nineteenth century from fairly tails like Hansel and Gretel.
During the nineteenth century, gingerbread was modernized. When the Grimm brothers collected volumes of German fairy tales they found one about Hansel and Gretel, two children who, abandoned in the woods by penniless parents, discovered a house made of bread, cake and candies.
At Christmas, gingerbread makes its most impressive appearance. The German practice of making lebkuchen houses never caught on in Britain in the same way as it did in North America, and it is here still that the most extraordinary creations are found.
