Downton Abbey is a show that is inexplicably still on television [SPOILER ALERT] despite having killed off its most attractive male character. But just because you-know-who abandoned the Crawley family for real Hollywood fame doesn't mean the iconic Yorkshire estate is any less delicious in gingerbread-house form, as proven by "Craft Jesus" Martha Stewart's most recent Yuletide creation. Behold, Gingerbread Abbey:
Martha claims that you too can trade in your Frozen Winter Cookie Castle kit for a post-Edwardian mansion. Make Mrs. Patmore proud, gang, and note that even this edible abbey is bigger than your apartment.
Martha can make anything! But she can't bring Cousin Matthew back from the dead, so screw her. Upstairs/Downstairs was better anyway.
