    Gingerbread Man origin

    Gingerbread man origin. Gingerbread men originate from the Court of Elizabeth I of England, who ordered the cookies to be baked in the likeness of important guests to her court.

    They normally walk through the door at some point.  I greet them with open arms.  They love to join us for a toddy or coffee after dinner.  I love ginger and always welcome their visits around the holidays. :) :)
