Show us your gingerbread house?

[lucysmam]

This is ours - smiley side by dd1, dd2's is Christmas lights.

We forgot to put sweets in the side windows 🙄 so it only looks good lit from the front...

Not all the sweets made it onto the house, and now none of us want tea

Show us yours?

Bump

Oh that’s cute.
We haven’t done ours yet, will probably do it tomorrow.

Anyone else??

Here’s mine! I wanted to do one on my own this year (the children had a kit one each). It took me an entire day 😂. My arms are still hurting now.

This is ours, sweetie overload!

Left it to my son this year.

Wow,they are all amazing

Ooh @Blabla81 I have plans to learn to pipe properly this coming year to do my own next Christmas!

I like the buttons on the roof @LuvMyBoyz; might pinch that idea for next year

Anyone else?

@nillygin, loving the Dolly Mixture total pebbledash

My 8yr old’s creation

Everyone’s look brilliant. Here is the one I did with my son yesterday

Wow. Ours isn't a house, and it isn't decorated yet, but...

I get one kit each for me, my friend, and my 2 sons (25 and 14). It's become a real tradition- as has my friend's posting of the pictures on her SM for voting (I believe mine won that vote this year!)

OMG that castle!!! That's incredible!(and knocks our efforts into a cocked hat )

Thanks,I'm ridiculously proud of it to be honest, it took me and DH the best part of a day to bake and construct, and it's the first time we've made anything bigger than a gingerbread man!

All your houses look fabulous and fantastically decorated, I'm going to steal inspiration for tomorrow's castle decorating

Does anyone actually eat them? I never bought a kit cos I've never know a child who would eat gingerbread beyond a couple of nibbles!

DS (14) helped glue it together but decorated by dd (11)

Following because I want to see the pic of the finished castle!

I very much did not make this, but I thought this thread might enjoy this gingerbread replica of the hotel I stayed in the other day, which was on display in their lobby. It was fully furnished inside, complete with tiny grand piano and Christmas tree, and most charmingly of all, a miniature gingerbread hotel.

It is nice seeing these festive creations! I like your candy windows and the lights shining through @lucysmam.

Homemade is a lot nicer to eat than the kits IMO. The one I made was a Christmas present for my parents (it has their house number on the door 😆)- my mum loves gingerbread but she was reluctant to eat it as she said it looked too pretty. Great compliment mother, but for god sake eat the damn thing!! I had to get annoyed with her and broke a bit of roof off myself. They start to taste stale really quickly if left.

Oh my goodness, that hotel one is so good. The teeny tiny one inside 🤗

Forgot to add pic lol

Oh it worked

@Frlrlrubert OMG I am so jealous of yours! It's awesome

Here's mine

Feeling the pressure a bit now, I'm not sure our decorating lives up to the construction.
