I am very busy these days. Christmas and new year holidays have come up and I am busy making the ginger bread home for us.

I am in love with ginger bread homes. They are simply too good. As a child, I was pretty attracted to them. I have very fond memories of my mom making the ginger bread home every Christmas. I know I am going to sound immodest, but my mom made the most beautiful ginger bread home. It looked almost magical. Me and my sister used to decorate the home with candies.

My mom used to try a new design every year. Sometimes she would make green windows and sometimes an elaborated dressed up door. Me and my sister used to make up imaginary stories of us living in the home. I remember once mom made an igloo as a ginger bread home. That year, it was bitterly cold, so mom said that let us make an igloo.

From last fifteen years, I have been making ginger bread home for my family but I have never achieved that kind of perfection. I somehow just make a structure that faintly looks like a home. My sweet kids decorate it with so much excitement. I really miss my mom so much.

My mom is at my sister’s place in these holidays. I know she must have made a spectacular ginger bread home. I am little envious also. I requested mom to be with us but she said she wants to be with my sister during this time. This is so very partial. My mom always has been biased when it comes to me and my sister. She is always in favour of my sister.

Oh God- I don’t know what is with moms. They always make just the perfect things. I don’t know how. My wife always teases me. Whenever I make the ginger bread home- she leaves no stone upturned to give me technical suggestions about the home. Oh dear- I wish mom was with us.

Let me take you leave now. I must finish the ginger bread home today only. My kids are waiting for it. Please take care. Bye.

The ‘common man’ was busy constructing the four walls of the home when he had to rush to open the door. Someone was outside. It was a neatly wrapped gift from her mom and sister. The common man opened the gift and couldn’t help smiling. In front of him was the most beautiful ginger bread home in the world.
