‘Tis the Season to Get Creative: DIY Christmas Hacks Straight from Grandma’s Book

Gingerbread houses are another mandatory holiday craft. Well, okay, perhaps not mandatory, but no holiday feels complete without one! The holidays are all about traditions, after all. Decorating them is so much fun, and they look so cute when you’re finished. Too bad they fall apart faster than a straw house blown in by a Big Bad Wolf.

Fortunately, we know a trick for keeping them standing. If you build the house around a box, that will prevent everything from caving in. And a large Goldfish cracker box just happens to be precisely the correct size. No more frustrated tears of a collapsed gingerbread house.
