Hi everyone. It's another Friday, and for those who celebrate Christmas, it's now less than a week away. (Wasn't it just Thanksgiving?) For me, my family will be celebrating on the 23rd and 24th since this year my daughter is going to spend the actual holiday with her husband's family.
Today I am joining Nicole for her Friday Face Off and also Gillena for her Friday Lunch Break. This past Monday I shared some cool gingerbread art I saw at a display put on by the Portsmouth Historical Society in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I thought I'd be festive and share a few more today. If you missed the ones from Monday you can find the link here: T Stands for Gingerbread.
I saved the ones with lots of faces for Friday Face Off today. 😏
This first one has no face as it's the ghost of Christmas future from Dicken's Christmas Carol. Look at that fondant lace. It's pretty amazing.
This next set of photos shows the business category winner. It's a rendition of Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water (for those of you who may not be familiar with the architect or the building).
This under the sea view may not be the most technical, but I thought it was a clever idea.
And for another ocean scene how about this giant squid and the submarine?
And for the Dr. Who fans, here's a few daleks for you.
A few of the adult creations
How about a mouse trying to pull Santa's sleigh on an airport runway?
Or Godzilla...
I think there were close to 100 gingerbread houses that people entered. I'll finish with this one which has a local connection to the Celia Thaxter home out on one of the Isles of Shoals (a small group of islands 6 miles offshore from Portsmouth). Celia Thaxter was a famous poet in the late 1800's, and she is originally from the seacoast of New Hampshire.
I hope you enjoyed the gingerbread constructions. Have a great Friday and weekend ahead. And for those of you who celebrate Christmas but I only "see" on Friday's, I wish you a wonderful holiday.

...Erika, this gingerbread display was EXCELLENT. The diversity was amazing, thanks for sharing.
These are amazing! I love the Christmas Carol, as I love Dicken's classic, and the Frank Lloyd Wright, as his one of my fave architects. Merry Christmas!
Gosh...truly some wonderful food art! The fondant lace looks so real that I first thought it were real lace.
p.s I ordered chestnut flour from Amazon.

Fabulous gingerbread creations, some folks are so talented, my creativity starts and ends with the little gingerbread men these days!
Have a lovely early Christmas with your family. Avril xx
Hoh, boy, I nearly missed this wonderful post! (Yesterday was a very weird, happy day).
Guess what, pic to come, my sweet tooth woke up I bought Spekulatius-Christmas-cakes a week ago or so. When I arrived at home the tooth was in hibernation again and the package is still sealed.
I assume some of them might have motive #75! Oh, wake up, tooth!
Love the airport runway-scene! This was fun - have a great Saturday, hugs
Interesting FLW rendition, I like the rocks and water, xoxo
There are some fabulous gingerbread creations there.
Happy Christmas.
A lot of creativity went into those gingerbread houses. Congratulations to all involved. All the best - David
The fondant Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is amazing. My favorite gingerbread creation was Godzilla. Love the Daleks, too. Stay warm
Wow - such a great exhibition. I would have loved to have seen something like this. I'm always astonished what people come up with, the creativity and then the endurance and patience to make these. Thank you for showing them. Have a great 4. Advent weekend. Hugs - Carola (sorry I'm late again)
Erika, these are just gorgeous. You must've had a grand time looking at each of them. (Were you tempted to eat any of them? Lol.) Hope you have a wonderful time with family. Merry Christmas! Anita xx
