Make your own gingerbread house 20%
Isn't this the year when you're
finally going to do something
you've been threatening to do for
ever so long, and that is to build an
irresistible gingerbread house in
time for the fast-approaching holi
day season? They're traditional,
they're charming, and they're a
great project for the entire family.
And best of all, they will by their
very presence add a new dimension
o f joy and happiness to Christmas
1983 W hy not do it this Saturday?
Bakers across the country have
joined the gingerbread boom by
dramatically increasing commercial
production. But the "storeboughts**
cannot compete in volume with the
hundreds of thousands made by
Moms and Grandmas as well as by
youngsters in , Home Economics
classes from coast-to-coast.
Although most gingerbread house
builders stick to traditional designes
many, in recent years, have begun to
create new, quite imaginative ham
lets. In some cases, geographic in
fluences have been noted. From the
Southwest in Arizona and New
Mexico the houses are likely to take
the shape of adobes. California bak
ers display contemporary designs
while New Englanders, o f course,
love their traditional Cape Cods.
