Friday, December 18


This afternoon, we went to see this gingerbread house, which stands on the floor near a Christmas tree at the women's center of our local hospital. It was made by hospital staff and stands over four feet tall. In fact, it stands over 4' 9", which is Mother's height. On a plywood base, graham crackers have been attached to the walls and roof. The chimney features hundreds of peppermint disks as well as several inverted ice cream cones. Candy canes serve as icicles hanging from the roof. Details were added with piped icing. Chocolate drops, gumdrops, orange slice gels, Lifesavers, and Skittles add further interest to the house.
