Gingerbread houses such as the one pictured can be extremely festive in their appearance, often being made by families with young children as an edible decoration for the Christmas table or windowsill on the 'big day' - December 25th. This house features icing icicles and icing sugar snow, as well as the red flowers of artificial poinsettias behind. The model Christmas tree is sold by Marks and Spencer, being extremely detailed and made from green-coloured resin.
