Gingerbread Houses

Ha ha - this isn't what you were expecting, is it?!

Personally, I've never built a Gingerbread House.  I see the kits on display every holiday season but always walk right on by them.  I might try one if there weren't so many other things I have to accomplish during the month of December.  

This Saturday I am planning a huge baking blitz - three different types of cookies plus two different types of fudge.  Some of these will be boxed up to deliver as gifts to friends, family, and local businesses that we've worked with throughout the past year.  Our bowling league is having a pot luck next week so I have to make more for that.  Our church has asked for a supply of them so I will make more for them as well.  With all that baking, who has time to build true Gingerbread Houses?  If someone asks for one, I'll have to throw the above picture together and deliver it with a loving smile!  

I hope all of your holiday planning and traditions are right on track.  Enjoy the season!
