    Wow, your Mom is an amazing artist with icing.
    Is that a luck pig, or is the shamrock just a decorative element?

    Charly,
    Thank you for the reply. The concept of the Glücksschwein
    is a very old tradition, though I didn’t realize it was medieval.

    I think those gingerbread houses are truly something out of a fairytale, and I especially love the decorated trees. They are so intricate, and the decorated marzipan tree ornament on the trees is delightful. Krásný!
