Gingerbread House

Sugar plums on the roof light up with music

This gingerbread house was given to us by my mother-in-law. When you press the door bell, you will hear the Sugar Plum Fairy, one of my favorites from the Nutcracker. By the way, my favorite version of the Nutcracker ballet is the one with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gelesey Kirkland in 1977. The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy in that ballet set the bar for me when I first saw it, and I've never come across a better version since. Young Baryshnikov had the most beautiful jumps in it, too.
