Today just a little teaser of my mother’s creations this year. She made so many gingerbread houses this Christmas that I will have to post them over a few days. I shoulda start two weeks ago but I somehow never got to it.

Lovely as always.
If it’s not a secret, would you post your mother’s recipe?
I may be a sentimental old fool, but I do love seeing these.
Always beautiful, and somehow,… inspiring.
Thank her for us.
what are the arches about?
GAS@3>I thought they were horseshoes, but no idea what the reasoning/significance is…
loch -- in previous charlymom ginjposts, i’d seen them arranged outside the houses, so they may correspond to an irl garden feature that is decorated for xmas in czechy. i dunt kno 4 sure tho.
Exquisite!
I especially adore the kissy fishies.
@GAS, those are just horseshoes as a generic symbol for good luck.
@chigau, I can post the recipe, it is not a secret. However, the spices she uses are store-bought mixes that are not sold outside the CZ.
Beautiful as always, thank you for sharing them and thank her for making them too please.
We could perhaps make an approximation with our own spices if you told us what was in the mixes she uses? Anyway I’d like the recipe too if that’s ok.
ah, I shoulda known, with the four leaf clovers ðŸ€
