Gingerbread House Day on December 12th recognizes a family tradition for many around the country.
A favorite food of an Armenian monk, Gregory of Nicopolis, brought gingerbread to Europe around 992 AD and taught French Christians to bake it. Since gingerbread was often used in religious ceremonies, monks baked to be sturdy to molded into images of saints.
We can thank the Brothers’ Grimm for a gingerbread house, though. Through their tale of Hansel and Gretel, they introduce an evil witch who lives in a house made of gingerbread. It didn’t take long for the German gingerbread guilds to pick up the idea. Soon, they put gingerbread houses to a more festive use making snowy cottages made from the spicy-sweet treat.
Personally, I'm not big on the gingerbread, but to each his/her/their own!
Happy Gingerbread House Day!
It's a beautiful chilly morning in SC today. Another relaxing day planned for today. Just church and lunch with my cousin and her husband. That's it.....and maybe a bad Christmas movie, but then that's it!
We really do not have anything planned for the next couple of days. The busy stuff doesn't start until Wednesday. I'm good with that.
I used my cane most of the day yesterday and I can tell. My legs are sore - but a good sore because I know I didn't use the roller. That's a WIN in my book!
Anyhoozle, I hope you all have a wonderful day and whatever you do today and every day, do it with kindness in your heart. The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find one, be one! And as always:
...wear a mask
...be kind and compassionate to one another
...dance/sing/laugh it out. It might not help but it sure as hell couldn't hurt.
Peace, Love and Blessings to you all. -AJ
