2013 First-Class Forever Stamp - Contemporary Christmas: Gingerbread House with Red Roof and Door First-Class Stamps who loved dessertThis stamp is part of a block of four issued for the 2013 holiday season. The gingerbread houses were constructed specifically for the stamp design. Gingerbread evolved from a centuries old recipe, but ingredients varied across the globe. Quite happily, the gingerbread houses Americans love today are drastically different from the medieval version. The name stems from gingerbras, a word borrowed from thirteenth century France meaning preserved ginger.
