Gingerbread dates back more than 1,000 years. Over the centuries, gingerbread was made in different shapes, eventually developing into an art form with the introduction of gingerbread houses in 16th-century Germany. Later, they were decorated for the Christmas season and became a staple of end-of-the-year celebrating. Gingerbread houses were an inevitable central design for United States Christmas stamps. Their time came in 2013, when four stamps were issued with different versions of the same basic gingerbread house (Scott 4817-4820). The color schemes of the houses and the placement and design of the doors and windows differ on each stamp. SHIP FROM US!!!!
