Fact of the day

Gingerbread houses

Decorating gingerbread houses started in Germany back in the early 1800s. Rumour has it that it gained popularity following the not-so-festive fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel, inspiring German bakers to create gingerbread houses from spiced honey biscuits.

WORD OF THE DAY

Cajole

To persuade with nice things. For example: ‘They hoped to cajole him into cooperating.’ Pronounced as KUH-JOHL.
