Christmas Gingerbread House

Christmas Gingerbread House

Introduction:

"This year's Christmas is my baby's first. Although the baby is less than 9 months old now, she is full of curiosity about everything. Now my wife and children live in my mother-in-law's house for a few days, and they will come back next week. Just use the break time to make a gingerbread house for my baby, as a Christmas gift for my baby. Before the gingerbread house, as a Christmas snack, it had its origin. According to legend, "Ginger" was an expensive imported spice during the Crusade, so it was only used for important festivals such as Christmas and Easter. Add ginger to cakes and biscuits to increase flavor and have the function of dispelling cold. Over time, gingerbread has become a snack associated with Christmas. In Europe, there is a "Gingerbread market", which provides different shapes of gingerbread according to different seasons. Among them, Nuremberg in Germany enjoys the reputation of "Gingerbread city". In Britain, there is also a legend that unmarried women can meet their ideal partner after eating gingerbread. On Saint Nicholas Day on December 6, in northern France and Germany, the godfather and godmother will send Gingerbread in various shapes, such as heart star and human shape, to the children, or secretly put them into the socks they expect. Gradually, gingerbread and fairy tales are combined to make gingerbread houses of various shapes, and Americans push the atmosphere of Christmas Gingerbread Houses to the extreme. "
