Gingerbread house making seems like all fun and games, but it’s not. I mean, everything starts great. You carefully take out all the pieces, figuring out which parts of the house you want to tackle first, and you feel like you have a solid game plan.
Once the icing comes out, the game is over.
The pieces don’t stay together, and the icing somehow gets everywhere: the ceiling, the floor, the back of your head, on the dog, and all the way out to Pluto.
Costco’s selling a pre-built version, so you can come out of gingerbread house hiding.

For $10, you can bring relaxation back to the holiday tradition.
The kit comes with icing, two gingerbread characters, and an assortment of delicious candy.

Yes, you still need to decorate the house, but the hard and frustrating work is done for you!
You don’t have to worry about the roof collapsing on you while you decorate.
While you might think this breaks tradition, people are actually down with this idea.

“Whomever the genius was that had the idea to sell them pre-built ….. THANK YOU!! This year they turned out so much prettier and there were less tears and frustration!” one Instagrammer wrote.
May the season bring you peaceful gingerbread house decorating with kith and kin.
