A gingerbread man who already knows the magic words. Merry Christmas runs across his tummy in white lettering that looks just like piped icing, his cheeks are two peppermint swirls, and a round red nose sits above a wide frosting smile. Wavy white trim edges his head and both feet, and a fine sparkle over the whole cookie catches the tree lights.

He hangs from a red ribbon loop, ready for the tree, a wreath, a kitchen window or the lid of a cookie tin. At this price he is an easy stocking stuffer, a sweet tag for a plate of holiday baking, and a happy start to a gingerbread tree for anyone who bakes every December.
