Making a Gingerbread House from Scratch

There's something strange about a gingerbread house that comes in a kit.  Thanks to my husband's family, I was introduce to making traditional gingerbread houses from scratch.  It's not that hard -- it just takes time and patience.

Here are some photos of houses made over the years from a pattern published in the 1950s by the Duffy-Mott Company.

And a fun part of the Kovac family tradition takes place after the house is complete and it's done it's job of decorating the house for the holidays.  That part is better watched than described!
