 Hi guys, welcome back to another day of vlogmas. We are still keeping up with vlogmas. I am so happy about that because it is pretty difficult to keep up with vlogmas but I did this last year. I got inspired by Sierra to do this and it was super fun last year. I wish my mom or one of them would be in here like working on it with me but I was working on cleaning stuff out as you've seen in my previous videos. We have like so many trash bags because we're cleaning stuff out of her study and everything and Shari's at work. And there's not really any other like good time to film this and we're watching elf tonight. I am just rambling on and on. I'm gonna try to not edit this video that much so sorry there's not a lot of jump cuts. I am just like really tired and anyway but I love vlogmas so that's besides the point. We got the fog bank red wine here. I think this is still good hopefully. I'm saving the other bottle just to take to my friend's house and then I have this wine glass here so we are going to pour ourselves a glass of wine. There we go. That was easier than I thought. Just going to pour it up there. Oh I want to choose the other glass. You know what I'm gonna be extra and I'm gonna pour this into the other glass because I like those glasses a lot better than these but let me just taste it to make sure it's good. I know the wine comes before the gingerbread decorating. It still tastes fine. Okay let's see if I can do this. I'm gonna do it over this plate so just in case anything gets on there. Okay okay she is looking good. I totally forgot we had these wine glasses and I like these a lot better because they're lighter. These are super heavy. I know I'm being like really picky about the wine glass but I'm just gonna fill this up a little bit more and then we'll get started here. Cheers to vlogmas and somehow succeeding you know you know what maybe I do want that in the frame a little bit because it's wine and gingerbread making decorating whatever. So this is the kit I bought. This is from Target. I'm surprised they had it still. I'm just gonna move the plate real quick so I'm gonna open this on up and we're gonna see what's inside. On the back they have everything that you need but I'm just gonna open it up and we'll go from there. I hope the gingerbread isn't cracked because that would be so sad. Okay so it comes with the gingerbread obviously and it smells so good. You guys know I love gingerbread. Then we have the frosting knead slash massage icing pouch for one to two minutes. We have this cardboard thing which on the instructions it tells us like what to do. Then we have ooh this is cute just like little candy. These are lights and then we have um holly and like mistletoe. We have these gum drops and we have these little Christmas tree gummy things. I hate gummies by the way. Then we have these candy cane mints. Those look super fun. Okay so I'm gonna try to put this thing together and we go and montage this because this might take a while. So enjoy me trying to figure out like how to do this. Your girl's gonna need some time to like figure this little thing out because this just does not come natural to me. Okay so I got everything assembled and I just want to show you guys before I start decorating it because honestly I love a naked gingerbread house. I know that sounds weird but I think it's just so pretty. I added some snow effect on it. The little chimney thing actually stayed which I'm shocked. It's probably gonna fall off which is totally fine. Like some of the stuff I don't know how I got to stay on but it is on and I'm gonna start decorating now. To be honest I'm gonna kind of go off of what the box is just because honestly when it comes to this stuff I'm just not very creative. Like I don't know I like to follow a guide and have it just be organized and stuff. Also I kind of want to chit chat with you guys and not like have to think like what am I gonna do? They have some of these peppermint little things up on the roof. Also guys when I was getting all of the icing out like this my hands are so sore like oh my goodness this takes a lot of like force to get the icing out and I low key think they put some type of glue in this because I swear it actually is sticking which I don't know. I feel like everyone has trouble like getting their gingerbread houses to like stick and work but I've never seemed to have that issue so yeah I don't know I've just never really had an issue with my gingerbread building skills. It's just I always have an issue of like what part goes where but once I like figure it out it's like easy for me and what my technique is is holding the item like the roof like I count like I'm like curling my hair one one thousand two one thousand three one thousand like I actually count to make sure that I'm giving the gingerbread enough time you know to to work. So all right I have four little gum drops here on top cute I have like one extra one they put some like snow on top of here but I want to like leave that alone until like the very end because I don't want it to fall off. We use these things for the front here I know you guys can't really see anything but I'll show you guys after obviously so they iced the front border and they put these gum drop things. This is always so hard like icing when the thing is already built that's why low-key like think that I should have decorated before. So what is your favorite movie for the holidays? I think mine would definitely be Elf because it's so funny we're watching that tonight I'm so excited because it is definitely one of my favorites it makes us laugh so hard so hard to talk while doing this. Oh I really like how it looks because it looks like the snow is like kind of falling off which is cool maybe I should have opened this before I started the gingerbread stuff oh the decorating I should say I swear man okay so they kind of I don't really care about like being exactly with exact with the colors so see like I'm holding it for a good like uh three to five seconds like one one thousand two one thousand three one thousand four one thousand yeah that's kind of like how I do it I mean I don't know oh no let's see they're already like falling off maybe I should do some reinforcement yeah the other one's falling off too maybe I should just do this the decorating part is more stressful for me than the putting together part I have no idea why but for me it's just like harder because then you have to like work with the candies and it's just difficult I'm gonna go back to time lapse in it montage in this because it's taking forever and I don't want to like be chitter-chattering because I have no idea what to talk about and this is actually harder than it looks okay so far this is what it looks like I know it's like a little rough looking and it's just hard because the roof has already fallen off like twice it's really hard because you can't decorate the roof because it's too heavy and it won't stay so I'm gonna use these little lights right here and put here so maybe that'll work better because these things were just too heavy so I just put them there okay so before this thing like totally falls apart I just wanted to show you guys it's not all the way completely done because I want to put these trees around in the front and on the sides here but this is what the gingerbread house looks like I have the lights up here because the gum drops were too heavy so I have the lights here this is just a hot mess like I don't really know what's going on with this I tried the door it's just too hard to control the piping bag like when you're working vertically you need the thing flat like horizontal so you can like draw on the thing and have it like dry of course me not thinking I put the thing together and then tried to as you can see draw on it didn't really work but it just doesn't make any sense to try to draw when the thing is vertical the sides I'm actually really proud of and the top I'm proud of it's really cute with the little candy cane things there's Valerie and the sides I just did some mistletoes the back I didn't do anything because it's the back I just don't have patience for it to be honest I think the front's okay I'm definitely gonna next year just try to decorate the things before I assemble it at least like the doors and sides and stuff I need to remember that for next year but this is the house looks like I just want to show you guys before it falls apart and then this thing yeah I don't know I had to make a reinforcement back here so it'll like stay up you know how things have reinforcements well this wasn't staying so I just put this gum drop here to be a reinforcement I tried this was my this is Instagram this is reality but hey it was like fun and why not right like it's something fun to do I'm gonna put the trees on now okay so this is the gingerbread house completed looks so good I did put a design on the front door because I just it felt like it needed something so this is what it looks like I put the trees around the side I did a little design on the back because I just felt like again it needed something you know get the 3d effect and then this is the other side and yeah that is my gingerbread house I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did make sure to give it a thumbs up don't forget to subscribe to my channel and I'll see you guys in my next video bye
