Advent Calendar - Day 4

Found these cute gingerbread skaters in a store window - and then I began to wonder: How come gingerbread cookies came to be Christmas cookies? Well, seek an ye' shall find. :-)

This web site is great, everything from the early spice trade to current customs, told in an engaging way: alwaystheholidays.com/history-of-gingerbread/

Enjoy!
