“Run, run, run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I’m the gingerbread man!”
December 12 brings not one but two delicious traditions: Gingerbread House Day and Gingerbread Decorating Day. From the fairy‑tale inspiration of Hansel and Gretel to the artistry of Swedish bakers painting cookies for window displays, gingerbread has been part of holiday celebrations for centuries. In Germany, bakers turned gingerbread into ornate houses in the early 1800s, and the tradition spread across the world. Whether it’s candy‑covered roofs or frosting‑lined walls, gingerbread houses are as much about creativity as they are about sweetness.
And just like a gingerbread house needs a sturdy foundation to stand tall, your car needs fuel to keep your holiday errands from crumbling.
