A few simple gingerbread house tips and tricks. In college, my sister and I started a gingerbread house tradition. While home for Christmas breaks, when the novelty of no homework began to wear off, just before the boredom of being home really started to drive everyone crazy, we’d put on a day-long marathon of movies, tear our parents’ kitchen and dining room apart, and make a gingerbread house. We made our first house in 2009 out of graham crackers and have made one every year since, finally graduating to actual homemade gingerbread last year....
