    Christmas does not exist in the Star Wars Universe. Way before our time. It is "Light Day" they celebrate the force check it out in the 1978 Star Wars Christmas Special.

    Love your channel Jacob! Been watching a while. Great videography & hosting. I have to say, these gingerbread houses look kind of lame compared to the one I'm used to seeing. Look up "Mohegan Sun casino gingerbread house" on KZread or online. For a good 20 years, they've featured a LIFE SIZE gingerbread house you can walk through, made of real gingerbread. They re-use the same wooden frame, and bake over 7000 gingerbread cookies to build the house every year. I think the local schools bake them for it. Very impressive and a big display every holiday season. Changes in design a little every year too. I've noticed you never seem to come here to New England for some reason. Plenty to do and see. I could make some suggestions if your not sure what to see. My family has been taking home footage of amusement parks since the 70s on film, and home video since 1982. And arcades since the early 80s. I have a lot more to upload. I also collect classic arcade machines.

    Absolutely stunning! Never seen anything like this. Gingerbread is translated as "peperkoek" where i live, which is only a very simple form of pure and soft gingerbread cookie. No decorations, no extras. Living in the neighborhood, but not to close, to a "peperkoek" factory we always have a faint delicious smell on Thursdays, which is their baking day. But i never knew something related to Gingerbread existed, even coming close to what you showed us today. One can only guess at the amount of time and effort adults and children used for their creations. i am really going to rewatch this video multiple times. There is so much detail and so much to see in each of the objects. Thank you, Jacob, really nice! Compliments on the video work of the houses, depth of field, colors etc. Professional!

    Yeah gingerbread is a plain cookie, the ones used for these are more hard and crunchy though! They get baked into whatever shapes are needed, and then are “glued” together with icing and decorated with other sweets.

She said who? We never got you a babysitter when you was younger as we didn't have much money she said... When I got much order, I did some digging into some history on the home, found out that the lady died who also had children in the house.....

    Love this video! I liked the Star Wars one best of all. Very creative ideas! These kids are pretty creative! Some people can’t even put together a traditional gingerbread house, much less one with lots of intricate details. That hotel is old, for sure. I would like to go there someday but I wouldn’t want to see a ghost. That’s scary! And some of the Nazis being there is scary. It reminds me of Operation Mockingbird where America was doing favors for Nazis in exchange for information. I understand why they did it, but why didn’t they get people who hadn’t been accused of war crimes? They were staying in a luxury hotel. They definitely took advantage of us. I also heard that Jews were forced to help these people. That’s ridiculous! But I guess that’s history. But interesting place! Well, thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
