A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martinez. What's better than eating a gingerbread house? Try living in one. A Utah woman transformed her home into a life-sized gingerbread house - the eaves draped with gumballs, candy canes mounted over the front door. Virginia Hoffman, an interior designer, and her husband, an artist, started the tradition in 2019. Unfortunately, none of her decorations are actually edible. I got a pair of rambunctious grandsons that lived near there. If I don't call and warn them, they will eat the house. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
