Christmas gingerbread house

Let's begin with the legend of the gingerbread house: the gingerbread house, also known as the wish house, which was handed down during the Crusades, "Ginger" was an expensive imported spice, so it was used only for such important festivals as Christmas and Easter. Add ginger to the cakes, cookies to make it smell good and have a chilling function. For a long time, gingercake became a Christmas-related snack. Later, there's a "gingercake market" in Europe, which offers different shapes for different seasons. In this case, Nürnberg, Germany, has more of the reputation of the Gingerbread. There is also a legend in Britain that unmarried women eat gingercake, i.e. meet their ideal partner. After the climate of Christmas, gingerbread was soon widely circulated as a snack for Christmas. On 6 December, St. Nicholas ' s Day, both in northern France and in Germany, the godfathers and godmothers send various shapes, such as heart stars, human ginger cakes, to the children, or secretly put them into the socks they expect. Gradually, gingerbread became the material of fairy tales, making all kinds of make-up gingerbread houses, while Americans pushed the atmosphere of the gingerbread houses to the extreme and became the ones resonated around the world。
