Thanksgiving was a fact and now the holidays are in full swing. As you prepare for the holidays, you will feel so many emotions such as joy, sadness and perhaps sadness if you have lost a loved one this year with whom you will not spend the holidays and excitement at the same time. It’s complex, and one way to take your mind off the stress and focus on something fun is to make some gingerbread houses.
You can be proud of your masterpiece before you eat it. December 12 is Gingerbread House Day, dedicated to making houses out of those cookies and decorating them in any way your heart desires. How will you make your gingerbread house? Let’s find out based on your zodiac sign.
Ram – Some Graham Crackers, Frosting and Gumdrops
Aries, you are passionate and you are the one who wants to get projects done as quickly as possible. Patience is not your virtue, so you are not the one to make an elaborate and detailed gingerbread house because you need more patience even if you have the energy for it. Instead, quickly take three pieces of cookies or crackers, use one as a floor, and then use the other two to create a roof.
You seal the top with the icing and spread some icing on different parts of the cookies, where you will “glue” the gumdrops. If you are afraid that someone will make a better gingerbread house, you can still decorate your cookie house better than someone else because you are very competitive.
Taurus – Elaborate gingerbread house with gourmet chocolate
Taurus, you are stable, stoic and a hard worker. In addition, you are very patient and have a lot of perseverance. You’ll take the time to create an elaborate gingerbread house, making sure the icing that holds the gingerbread cookies together is strong. For decoration, use gourmet chocolate to give your masterpiece a luxurious touch.
You also add other gourmet sweets to the house to make it extra special, such as luxury gummy bears that you can use as the house’s ‘residents’. You are not the type to brag, but you want to prove to yourself that you have the patience and determination to create a beautiful and high-quality gingerbread house that is not easy for most people to make!
Gemini – Buy a set and decorate it any way you like
Gemini, you are versatile, but you are also the one who, like Aries, won’t spend time creating an elaborate gingerbread house. It’s not so much that you’re impatient, but something can distract you from the focus you need to build. That’s why you get the gingerbread house kit, like Oreo makes them for example.
It will make it easy for you to assemble. However, the area you will enjoy most is after assembly; you will enjoy decorating it. And you won’t necessarily use holiday-themed decorations. You can use candies in your pantry, such as Halloween candy that you haven’t used up, marshmallows that you use for baking, and some sundae sprinkles, for example.
Cancer – Adds candy furniture to the inside
Cancer, everything about a house excites you, which is why you get excited when you get the chance to create a gingerbread house. You have the patience to build a cute gingerbread house, but before putting up the gingerbread cookies as a roof, take some sweets and make furniture.
For example, you can take part of a KitKat bar, place some gum drops under it to make a table, and put additional gum drops around it to make chairs. It would be best if you started a candy house with furniture before working on the outside of it for your sign.
Leo – A house with your photo on the outside window
Leo, you love to be the star of the show, and when you’re the one creating a masterpiece, you want the world to know that you’re the master creator. That’s why, after you’ve worked hard to make a beautiful gingerbread house, take a photo of yourself and place it on the candy window, outlined by vanilla frosting.
It will give the impression that you are in the house and looking out the window because others will think that is clever, and you will enjoy it when others compliment you on your creativity. That’s the point of doing it.
Virgo – A minimalist gingerbread house
Virgo, you are the very analytical one and don’t like bells and whistles, so you will create a simple gingerbread house. You are going to assemble the gingerbread cookies as expected to make a house. Then you will attach them with icing and make drawings of windows and doors on the outside of the house.
You don’t even have to bother sticking gum drops or M&Ms on the outside. You decorate the house with icing. You use a different color of icing to decorate the outside, but that is the most you do.
Libra – A beautiful gingerbread house with fruit roll-ups for Windows
Libra, you go for balance and beauty, and you will have fun making a gingerbread house. First, make sure your gingerbread house has perfect symmetry. For example, you create two windows on the front of each side of the door. Your gingerbread house should have an ideal balance, as that is an example.
Then you will decorate your windows with pieces of fruit roll, because your gingerbread house should have stained glass windows and the fruit roll should have a mix of colors. That will be a beautiful work of art.
Scorpio – A simple gingerbread house with black licorice and black candies
Scorpio, you are the intense one who appreciates the dark. So you can add the leftover Halloween touch to the holiday gingerbread house. You are going to make a simple gingerbread house and add black licorice to the icing and place black candies on the windows.
You can even add a few candy corn candies for decoration. That’s your type of gingerbread house, because you love everything intense and gothic. The colorful candies and candy canes surrounding them are not your stuff.
Sagittarius – An elaborate gingerbread house with lots of colorful candies
Sagittarius, you are the lucky one who brightens up everything you create. Therefore, you would build a beautiful gingerbread house and decorate it with lots of colorful candies.
You decorate the windows with different colored gumdrops and the doorframe with M&Ms, and you can even keep the door open by placing a small statue in it that seems to welcome any guests who want to enter the house. You will make it bright, colorful, full of life and inviting, because that is who you are.
Capricorn – Create a gingerbread house with lots of details over a longer period of time
Capricorn, you are very goal-oriented, and you are very diligent. When building a gingerbread house, you don’t put it together in one go. You’ll be doing a lot of planning when it comes to focusing on the details you want to add, and as you build the gingerbread house, you’ll be adding the details as you build instead of doing it afterward.
For example, if you want to make an elaborate door with lots of candies stuck to the frame, do it as you build, rather than waiting until you’ve built the masterpiece. It takes twice as long to build the gingerbread house as someone else because you take the time to make sure it is perfect.
Aquarius – Who says you have to build a gingerbread house?
Aquarius, you stand out and want to, and with that said, who says you have to build a gingerbread house? You can choose to make a gingerbread rocket by taking a few Twizzler pieces and taking icing to glue them together and enclosing the Twizzler bunch with something like narrow gingerbread cookies attached to the Twizzler bunch with the icing fastened.
Or you can make a gingerbread car or a gingerbread school. Or, if you make a gingerbread house, it will look like a roofless and modern house instead of a traditional house.
Pisces – Gingerbread house with marshmallows and lots of sprinkles
Pisces, you are dreamy, creative and very artistic. Therefore, every gingerbread house you build will have a dreamy and artsy feel. First you make a simple gingerbread house and draw the doors and windows with colorful icing. Then you start placing pieces of marshmallows throughout the house.
You may only use white or colored marshmallows. Either way, you spread icing on each piece and add some sprinkles. The gingerbread house you make will appear as if it were a dreamy work of art, and that is what you are making.
What kind of gingerbread house will you make? And you’ll definitely want to make one on December 12, because it’s Gingerbread House Day. It’s a great day to create a masterpiece because it’s far enough away from Christmas that it can get the attention it deserves, instead of everyone else getting lost in the actual holiday. So gather your gingerbread cookies or other cookies if you want to use them, as well as the icing and decorative candies, and you can have some fun with them.
