Background:
Gingerbread houses are one of the most wonderful memories of Christmas. Gingerbread houses smell of warm ginger, cinnamon, cloves and molasses, all made in the house. Gingerbread recipes originally date back to the Middle Ages and were used to attract knights. At the beginning of the 17th century, the American colonists enjoyed gingerbread, although Christmas was not very common at that time. Over time, bakers learned to cut the gingerbread dough into various shapes, including animals and figures. Heart-shaped gingerbread was so popular that it was decorated with ribbons and sold in European markets. German bakers began building gingerbread houses inspired by Hansel and Gretel. Around 1870, Christmas was declared a national holiday in the United States, and gingerbread houses became a popular winter tradition. Today, gingerbread houses can be purchased as kits or built by yourself, giving everyone, regardless of ability, the opportunity to create happy memories of the holiday season. The gingerbread house was designed by Teresa Lyman, with Sally Anderson Bruce as photographer, and Derry Noyes was the artistic director for the stamp.
