Favorite Gift Recieved

Hi there, Diamond Glamor Girl:

Did you know that today is a day we set aside t observe Ginger Bread Houses.

When you look at the house and where the stories of ginger bread came from you know it's a difficult task to bake them from scratch. That's why they market them and sell the kits.
One has to mix all the ingredients by having the correct measurements. You can't have too much or too little. You can over stir it or it will harden and the dough will be tuff or hard. Then you have to roll it out before cutting with cookie cutters. It has to be the same thickness for even baking.

The most difficult part is after you have mastered the measuring, the rolling, the  cookie cutter, you have to bake. Since it is difficult to see if you have over bake. You have to time it just the right amount of time. If you leave them in too long they'll burn. If the time is to short it cumbles.  The frustration is when you know you have done everything right and it still isn't correct. So you just have to do it again until you get it right.

The best part is when it's time to decorate it and the whole family creates their own part. To the average pastry chef it looks like a mess. To me it looks perfectly and wonderfully made. You ask me what is my favorite gift at Christmas. Spending time with the children and family I was given and doing silly fun things together. Isn't what the nativity is. The new beginning of a family?
