A dear friend of my mom’s hosts a gingerbread house party most years (not every year because it’s a lot of work!). He starts in OCTOBER, making gingerbread houses for his guests to decorate. Each house has candy windows and he provides a little light that goes in the house through a hole in the bottom of the house base.
He also provides tons of candy!
All the kids (and adults) carefully “glue” all the candy onto the houses with frosting (also provided by John) and turn the basic house structures John provides into their own creation. John also gave each child a stocking embroidered with his or her name and stuffed with goodies. Oh, and everyone needs to wear either a Santa hat or an Elf hat (the whole time) and everyone brings a homemade dish to share.
John would really like the tradition to continue, so maybe next year I’ll be his gingerbread house mentor.
