## How to get

The Gingerbread House is available from Dec 15th 2016 and the event is scheduled to run until Jan 3rd 2017.

* When you reach level 4 you get the recipe for the Holly Earrings (made at the Jeweler)
* When you reach level 5 you ge the recipe for the Reindeer-in-a-Box (made at the Tinker)

The make times and heart rewards for these items are shown below :

 Seasonal Bauble | 15 min
 Festive Sweater | 45 min
 Holly Earrings | 6 h
 Reindeer-in-a-Box | 12 h

There is also a special item available to buy at the Holiday Barge:

* The Gifts Galore costs 300 Holiday Cheer , and rewards 1000

* When you drop a Generous Gift at another Trademaster's Gingerbread House, 100  and 75

Each time you level up your Gingerbread House you will receive various rewards and decorations (see below) including Generous Gift to give to your fellow Trademasters.

## Sharing Generous Gifts with other Trademasters

Help your fellow Trademasters by sharing your Generous Gift

* Visit their island
* Find their Gingerbread House
* Tap on it and drag a Generous Gift onto it

You can only give a Generous Gift to the same Trademaster every 6 hours.

Note: In your friends bar the Christmas Event Icon  appears to the bottom-right of each avatar when you are able to give them a Generous Gift. Similar to seal dives, friends to whom you have given a Generous Gift within 6 hours or those that have not activated their Gingerbread House are moved to the end of the list, regardless of their game level.

## After the Event

Your Gingerbread House will remain in place after the event ends (like the Grand Pumpkin).

You can "feed" your Gingerbread House with Vanilla to obtain rewards (which will depend on the relationship level reached at the end of the event).

The waiting time before being able to feed again is also dependent on the relationship level reached at the end of the event :
