I hope this year I get a chance to make one. No matter how small. So that is two things on my list I need to try. Building a snowman and building a gingerbread house.
These pictures all came from the Internet. There are some super beautiful gingerbread houses out there.

Yes, I love gingerbread house. No matter how big or how small. There is just something about gingerbread houses that make me smile.
If you have ever built a gingerbread house I hope you post it on your blog. I know I'm not the only one that would like to see them.

Hi Joanne
Thanks for showing all those wonderful gingerbread houses. I have never made one either but I would love to have a go some day.
Best Wishes

Hi Joanne...
Yes...I made a couple of gingerbread houses...it was a requirement when I took Cake Decorating Classes back in the early 70's. We never did anything quite as elaborate...but mine were "different" than all the rest, cuz I put ROSES on mine!! Imagine that...way back then...I was in love with ROSES! LOL!!!
I haven't thought about that in years...thanks for bringing back the memories!!
~Blessings,
Jan
We have made some out of the kits they have. Those you are showing are definitely GRAND homes!!!
Loved the tour! I too have never made a gingerbread house, it's on my do to list, one of these years!
THanks for the fabulous photos of gingerbread houses! They are marvelous! I love making them. Maybe I should make one this year! You just may have inspired me! :)
One of my fondest memories was making a gingerbread "city" complete with a stream of blue colored icing gel and pond lined with candy rocks and delivering it to a home with my nieces and nephews in tow (who of course, helped with the construction). It is a Christmas memory I will always cherish! :)
Those pictures are inspiring. I`ve thought about doing a Gingerbread House, but never tried. After seeing your pictures I`m going to give it a go.
Have a nice weekend Joanne.

Wow! These are fantastic! I could barely build the graham cracker one in grammar school. They all look yummy. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, what fantastic gingerbread houses. Had to have taken days to put together!
My children make the easy kit houses with their grandma.
I, too, dream of making a gingerbread house. Actually, I want to replicate the country church where my parents were married! So far, I have only done one of those little kits! Maybe when I retire and have just a little more time!
Blessings,
Lorilee
I want to LIVE in the pink one! Thanks for sharing!
Joanne, Thanks for commenting on my blog post today! I decided to give the Marie Antoinette award to the first 7 people who commented on that post so there you are! Come and get it! I also added a post script about the grocery store story at the bottom of that same post. Believe me, it is nothing to be proud of, LOL!
Wow those are amazing!
Hi Joanne ,
Boy those gingerbread houses are amazing and full of so much detail . I'm like you , I've always loved them and never built one . Some day I will but I'm sure it won't be as extravagant as these.
:o) Sue
Hi Joanne,
I have a tradition with Kailee and it's making a gingerbread house. Last year the house fell:( it was the first time that happened. This year I'm going to hot glue the pieces together before we decorate it. I'll do a post about it when we do it. She really enjoys this.
I put up my tree today and I have white lights, vintage ornaments and tinsel...love tinsel on a tree and I put it on, one piece at a time:) Another week with lots of stuff going on...
Take care.
Christmas Joy to you.
Deb
Thanks JoAnne fo rthe Gingerbread House and christmas Tree tours! Good for getting me in the mood for the holidays! Have a wonderful week!
hugs,

I've always "thought" of making a gingerbread house. Just last night on Food Network, a gingerbread house expert said it take her at least 20 hours to make a simple house. I'm thinking...maybe next year.
