Every Thanksgiving I bring my sisters family a gingerbread house, I wanted to go big this year so I thought of a Fire place, as I always have a gingerbread clock on my fireplace I thought it would be a good idea to build a gingerbread fireplace. Used a lot of peppermint candy on the fireplace to help keep it strong. I used sugar cookies for the stockings and cookie tree. The fire was made with microwaved red and yellow starburst and pretzel sticks. the fireplace is 14 1/2 inches tall.
