She burst out of her room with her pen and notebook in hand and darted for the kitchen. 'And you know what that means?' Ginger's mother, Debbie, exclaimed. 'It's…' Ginger was already sifting through the pantry before her mother could finish her sentence. 'Tomorrow is the holiday fair, which means the gingerbread bake-off competition!' Ginger cried. She was smiling ear to ear. This was a very special year for Ginger. This was the year she could finally enter the competition without an adult. This was the year she would bake all on her own. It was a rite of passage for all the women in her family. She, like all the others before her, took this very seriously. To Ginger, this was more than a light-hearted competition. She longed to please her mother, especially given the significance of this event being tied to her namesake.' Debbie: 'Before you go raiding the pantry, you'll need this.' Debbie grabbed her cookbook and pulled out Nan's gingerbread cookie recipe. She smiled warmly as she reminisced about the holidays spent in the kitchen with Nan. It was a magical time. They'd bake gingerbread men while listening to Christmas songs as the snow glistened through the tiny window that sat just above the kitchen sink. It was always snowing whenever they baked the gingerbread men, and that was the real magic. Debbie carefully handed Ginger the recipe. 'You must be very careful with this recipe, Ginger,' her mother said sternly. These were not just any ordinary cookies. They were award-winning. The recipe had been passed down from generation to generation, and it was Ginger's turn to 'wow' the judges this year.' 神秘声音: 'More of me if you want to win, the voice said. Do it now before your mother comes back. If you don't add more of my delicious spices, you will never win. You will be a disgrace to your family. Is that what you want?'
