Here’s Santa’s newest “wanna be” …. Gingerbread Santa.

You can make cookies with it. Some people enter a contest to use it to build a house. And, now Santa has enrolled these two gingery people in his school for elves!

While most people probably associate this traditional treat with Christmas in German. However, the Greeks and Egyptians created variations of these sweet treats as far back as 2400 B.C. But apparently, we can credit knights returning from the crusades for carrying new spices and ingredients home with them to Europe.

Ginger, an underground root found in southeastern Asia, was exported to India and Europe during the early spice trades.

Gosh, who knew collecting ornaments could be so educational!
