A family has transformed their home into a life-sized gingerbread house.
Gingerbread House
Virginia Hoffman explained that she realised a few years ago that her red brick home in the US state of Utah bears a resemblance to the festive treats and started thinking of ways to decorate the property as a gigantic gingerbread home.
Hoffman also revealed that she enlisted the help of all her family to make her gingerbread dream come true.
She told KSTU-TV: "I told my family about it and luckily they didn't think I was crazy. And so we painted these gumballs in the kitchen over Thanksgiving in 2019, and then my daughter and son-in-law helped me figure out how to attach them to the house.
"We made that out of foam, insulation, and then my husband melted out the squares with a soldering iron, and I painted them and got the exact right colours to look like the cookies.
"I hope that if it can just put a smile on anyone's face, if it can just help a little bit, a little Christmas cheer, that's the whole goal. It will all be worth it."
