It gets so crazy for our friends and ourselves between Thanksgiving and Christmas we have turned our Gingerbread houses into Valentine’s Day Houses. We have found that we need something to do when it bitterly cold – so it is a good excuse to have everyone over – and they enjoy getting out of the house too. I save Halloween candy, Christmas candy and we throw in conversation hearts and other hearts.

I usually give everyone a paper bowl and then they walk along the “candy bar” to select some things for their house. They are welcome to come back for more, but it keeps the crowding and mess down.

We also added a soup party before the GB house party starts. We made it very simple, just 3 different kinds of soup in crock pots and several breads to munch on. It really helped offset all the sugar we consumed. Love your ideas.

It’s a great way for them to feel a little more at ease at their professor’s house, and it’s also a great stress-reliever during finals. We use graham crackers (because they’re cheaper and easier). We also like to offer food coloring in case people would like to create some colored frosting.

I don’t think we’ve ever had a traditional house. This year’s winners were the Trojan Horse and a scene from a Goethe poem. (My husband’s a German professor.) Maybe we should try an adult gingerbread house party sometime. 🙂
