Did you spend lots of time to make it pretty? If you did than wait until you take pictures or show it off to everyone you want to show. Then eat it. What's the point of making one if you don't show it off first?!? You might as well have baked the gingerbread and eaten it with icing and candy, without building the house.

Generally speaking they can last about a fortnight in an airtight container this is the home made variety, any longer they dry out and become stale. Ones brought from shops tend to last longer but do not taste as good! Have been making ginger bread houses for Christmas for years now so I have done lots of eating of them so I know what tastes best!

I think that once you finish decorating it, taking the gingerbread house a picture, and showing it of to whoever then you should eat it (just don't wait more than five days to eat it, it might get stale)!

how funny is this question! we never eat it. we spend thanksgiving making it with grass and trees and lots of crap all over it and then it sits on the table as a centerpiece until christmas. then we throw it out. its probably stale by then anyway

The one time I made one with my kids, it sat in the livingroom the whole month of December (as a decoration) and then we threw it away. It wasn't that appetizing.

No, I never eat it. It's been sitting out, getting stale, maybe had a fly or two land on it. I just ptich it after NYD.

I am so allergic to ginger it is not possible for me to even make one. I think it could sit for a bit, because it is a lot of sugar....but it can go stale.
Peace.
