Gingerbread house & La Befana

This year the girl has asked for a Gingerbread house for her birthday which is turning out to be Befana's Casa as the witchy Tabitha's birthday falls on the time when Befana visits the houses of children in Tuscany, so we will have to see if it turns out to be full of sweets or coal!  Traditionally children put their boots outside and Befana leaves sweet treats or coal depending on how good the chidlren have been.  Will post a picture if the house reaches completion!
