Well we have been so busy, busy with parties, buying gifts and busy in the kitchen.  You can get the Christmas gingerbread recipe here and whip up a quick batch before the big day.  In the meantime you can gather some inspiration here.

I made tiny gingerbread men.  I decorated them using pre made icing from the supermarket.

I spent a whole day baking with my daughter.  We ate lots of them too.  The trick to getting the tastiest gingerbread is to add a tiny bit more ginger.
