Gingerbread house tip: Try using caramelized sugar as the mortar instead of royal icing.  Caramelized sugar dries much faster.  Simply hold your house parts together for 30 seconds and move on to the next step in house building.

Most of us grew up singing carols or at least listening to them on radio, TV and everywhere we happen to go after ThanksgivingSome of them are quite beautiful, and any of them can put us in a holiday mood.

And as for Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, it's close to my heart because my daughter appeared in a local stage production.  And besides, who can say anything but nice things about Tiny Tim?  Nancy
