No way...
That thing was white... meaning that it was covered in frosting (royal icing).
None of the smell could get out.

I make blank gingerbread houses so that other people (children and adults) can have a great memory of Christmas. People tend to focus on gifts (what they couldn't afford to buy and what they didn't get) instead of what is really important.

Every one else gets to decorate the houses...I just make blanks and icing and buy candy to cover them with.

I focus on creating great memories that will never go away. Parents and children spending time together doing something important (in the children's mind) for decorating the house for Christmas...

What could be a better gift?

Of course I include cookies and candy gifts for the adults.

So nice to have a real lady in the White House as FLOTUS.

I have mostly kind regards for Melania Trump, though I have no idea what she could have been thinking to marry Mr. Trump.
I think there have been many presidential spouses that were ladies that should be respected. Even recently.

I have wondered. My wife and I raised our five sons and one daughter. I spent a lot of time playing sports with them like basketball in the driveway, family football, etc. Played a lot of "catch" one on one with each.
Took them hiking and camping and to the beach.
I worked long hours but did my ot at night or early morning so I would be home during their waking hours.
When my kids did soccer, track, basketball, golf and tennis in school and rec teams I juggled things so they each had maybe two or three games when I wasn't there over many years. Those games my wife was there.
I went to all their practices and helped.
I have to admit wondering how Baron Trump is making out in the "Dad" relationship. You see the President taking off to golf a whole lot. A lot.
You see him and Melania boarding Air Force One to head for Florida pretty often. Rarely see Baron with his father. But I am not a Trump fan and don't follow what is going on with his family life. Wonder what it's like for Baron? I can't picture a father son tossing of the pigskin there.

I can't picture a father son tossing of the pigskin there.

his lifestyle is completely different than ours... i doubt him or another in his line of work even understand.

I remember a flawed John Kennedy with health and back issues doing all sorts of stuff with John John.
