One of the things that plunges me deep into the spirit of Christmas in something that has been right under my nose for many years. I've taken it for granted and somehow it was brought to my attention while standing in the doorway of my neighborhood grocery store.
I'm sure that there are going to be those who are feeling a bit down because they have had to adjust how they are going to celebrate Christmas this year. The stress and the expectations is weighing on all of us. It's not something we can wish away or even ignore because this is the time of year families reunite and sometimes to we have to reacquaint ourselves with distant family and friends. We know it's coming and it's coming fast!
There is a little something you can do for everyone who is coming to your home for the holidays. One of the things that stimulate memories is our five senses and one of the strongest is our sense of smell. To create a very memorable Christmas for those you love and care for is to ignite their sense of smell! Fill your home with the scents of Christmas. For a little bit of money, you can fill your home with the perfect blends of Long Needle Pine, Port Orford Cedar, and Boxwood that are accented with Star Anise, cinnamon sticks, and a colorful bow. Monthlywreath.com has a Fresh Swag called Spiced Christmas that measures about 28" long. You can hang it in the front hallway or the kitchen and it will fill the air with those wonderful aromas that bring all those joyful memories you have experienced in former years.
If you are going to someone else's home, then perhaps you could bring it to the host or hostess who has opened their home to you.
Take a moment now and think back. Didn't the scents of Christmas play an important part in wanting to share your blessings with family and friends? Using our sense of smell will leave lasting impressions in the minds and hearts of all who are young at heart.
