The hubby and I are going through a financial bump now and we've had to give up a couple of our Christmas traditions which our children always look forward to during the season. To make up for this, been thinking of making a gingerbread house with my daughters, among other things. We do a lot of baking during the holidays but I thought a gingerbread house which they would decorate themselves would brighten up everyone's spirits. Thanks MM!

If I find the photo, I will post it for you...

These posts came at a very opportune time for me. This is the first Christmas when I am giving in to my oldest's fervent wish to bake gingerbread cookies at home (I'll leave the houses to experts like you and Martha). I have been putting it off until he is big enough to handle the simple tasks of baking and cooking. Now that he is four, I am hoping the whole process won't create too much of a mess. For the past months, he has been eagerly awaiting every morning for me to cook breakfast so he can help beat the eggs, so I guess he is ready for his first gingerbread adventure. Unlike you, however, I may just get a gingerbread kit at Target or the neighborhood grocery store to make the experience less stressful (for me!). Besides, they are already on sale. I am eagerly awaiting the pictures you will be posting of your gingerbread "New England Winter Scene". I will be forever grateful to you, Market Man. These posts came at a very opportune time for me.
