What better way to get into the festive spirit than by getting your Christmas decorations up? Get those dusty old boxes out of the storeroom, drape your tinsels, hang your stockings, and put on your Christmas playlist!
But of course, no Christmas decorating evening would be complete without some festive scents. A home that smells like pine needle, cedar wood, or cinnamon and nutmeg sounds (or maybe in this case, smells) like an absolute dream.
