Christmas

Our members helped bring Christmas Cheer to Beecroft, with Santa coming to visit in the Village Arcade, children’s Christmas craft workshops for making Christmas tree decorations and gifts,  Gingerbread House making and our traditional Lions Christmas Cakes!

Gingerbread House Making

An evening building and decorating Gingerbread Houses for Christmas was held on Thursday 8 December 2011 at 6.30 pm Cheltenham Recreation Club 60-74 The Crescent, Cheltenham NSW 2119.  Gingerbread house kits and a range of lollies and icing were on hand to create wonderful houses covered in lollies to take home for Christmas.

Gingerbread dates back to the 10th Century.  The harder German-style Gingerbread is often used to build Gingerbread Houses similar to the “witch’s house” in the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale. These houses are often built by children, helped by their parents and grandparents, and are covered with sweets, chocolates, and icing.  They are now popular all over the world, particularly in Eurpoe and America as well as in Australia.
