Here is my 6th reason for why I love Christmas.
6. The smells of Christmas. To me, this is a combo of many different things.
The smell of...
Real Christmas trees
Peppermint from candy canes
Fresh baked cookies
Hot cocoa with lots of marshmallows
My Christmas scents from Scentsy (and I have LOTS. My favorites right now are Christmas Cottage and Winter Wonderland. I am excited to use the others soon!)
The hint of fireplaces in use (I can only handle a hint of that smell, as I am allergic to the smell of smoke, and get horrible headaches if it's really strong. I wish this wasn't the case, as I'd love to use our fireplace this Christmas)
I have always associated certain smells with people or places. I remember walking into the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln building in Disneyland for the first time in probably 5 years...and instantly being brought back to the first time I'd set foot in there. To this day, I step into that building to catch a whiff of that smell...because I know at that moment that I am truly in Disneyland. It's amazing how powerful smells can be for me...which is why I love the smells of Christmas so much.
More reasons to come!
