The GingerBread Man

Everyone can remember hearing the story of the Gingerbread Man at least once in their lifetime - for me I have heard it hundreds of times. If you are one of the very few who has not heard it - then be sure to listen to the above video.
Every holiday I get out my decorations from my attic. I have a special box filled with Gingerbread Men and Woman that I use to decorate my kitchen. It is my favorite time of year and to have my kitchen filled with fun Gingerbread Decor brings a big smile to my face every holiday season. I am not a big fan of eating Gingerbread, but I love the smell.

How fun are these Gingerbread Man/Girl Inflatables? They each measure 32" x 52" - Great Christmas Decoration !!
