Luxury Villa Gingerbread House

Overview

The legend about the gingerbread house: According to legend, during the Crusades, ginger was an expensive imported spice, so it was only used in important festivals such as Christmas and Easter. Add ginger to cakes and biscuits to add flavor and to repel cold. Over time, gingerbread has become a snack associated with Christmas. In the future, there will be a gingerbread market in Europe, which will provide different shapes of gingerbread according to different seasons. Among them, Nuremberg in Germany is known as the gingerbread capital. There is also a legend circulating in the UK that if an unmarried woman eats gingerbread, she will meet her ideal partner. After imbuing it with the Christmas atmosphere, gingerbread soon became widely known and became a Christmas snack. On December 6, St. Nicholas' Day, in northern France and Germany, godfathers and godmothers will send various shapes, such as heart stars, human-shaped gingerbread cookies to children on this day, or secretly put them into the socks that children look forward to. Gradually, gingerbread became the material of fairy tales and was made into gingerbread houses of various shapes. Americans even pushed the atmosphere of gingerbread houses to the extreme, becoming gingerbread houses that echoed all over the world.
