In celebration of the holiday season, we asked Patch readers to send us photos of their handmade gingerbread house creations. And, boy, were we impressed! The entries included edible replicas of local landmarks, a gingerbread greenhouse and even Hogwarts Castle. Check out some of our favorites below, and you might even be inspired to create your own.
Happy holidays!
