"Gingerbread has been a holiday tradition for thousands of years. It was originally eaten during Winter Solstice Festivals.
The tradition of the house made of Gingerbread originated in Germany. It is believed that in the early 1800s, Germans began shaping their Gingerbread into festive holiday creations.
Gingerbread Houses soon became popular, and remain so today. The Gingerbread House has now become a favorite Christmas tradition all over the world."
