I decided on a whim (the way I make most of my decisions) to do a real Gingerbread house this year.
Last year we did the Graham Cracker House/Shack.
We were in the store and my son saw one of the kits to make a real one and asked if we could get it.
So, I said, sure.
My decision making process is really awesome to behold.
I was pretty much done after I had assembled it and it stayed together.
Score one for the craft impaired!
Before they even started putting it together they wanted to know when they could eat it.
I might be a little dense but I did not know if you were supposed to!
I knew that it was basically made of all edible products but I had never actually scene anyone eating one.
I evaded the question for a while until I finally figured out that if there was a nutrition data panel on the box it must mean you can eat it.
So in case you are like me.
You CAN eat it.
Don’t laugh.
I think it is a Gingerbread house worthy of Hansel and Gretel.
It was demolished the next day.
Since my boys are more into eating then decorating I think we will make the Graham Cracker version again next year.
It is easier to eat.
This was a fun thing to check off of my imaginary Christmas must do list though.
I’ve always made the gingerbread from scratch but buying the kit looks more appealing every year. I opted not to do them at all this year. Next year I’m thinking kits!
