Do you make Gingebread houses during the holiday season? My son has been talking about them this year, so for the first year we bought one. He is off school next week, so I thought we could get together as a family on my day off next week and make a gingerbread house. It sounds fun but at the same time, the broke and fugal part of me is screaming. NOOOOO!!! THAT IS FOOD!!!! THERE ARE HUNGRY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD AND YOU ARE WASTING FOOD!!! I know that after you build a gingerbread house and it sits around for a week or two that its not something to be eaten. How do you feel about gingerbread houses. (gingerbead house in the image is not ours, it is from morguefile)

We have a tradition of building one every year. This year instead of a house we got the train kit.

@rebelann A lot of the candy gets nibbled off over the season. After Christmas what's left gets tossed.

We never made one when the kids were young. Cute but a waste of food, you are right.

At least this is one of those pre-made kits. I can convince myself that they are stale and yucky anyway, and have probably been in the box since Christmas LAST year. I'm not sure if this will be a new tradition for us or not. I guess it depends on how much he likes doing it.
