Day 9 Christmas Smells

Family Circus Cartoon for 12/15/2010
OK..here I am a year later...endeavoring to publish some posts, to carry on with the days I have started to number. Boy, did this year go by fast. I am thankful the blogspot company did not delete this blog after so very many months of inactivity!

Mmmmm...the smells of Christmas! I always have a Christmas Spice potpourri simmering on the stove in December. This is composed of tangerine peels, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, some allspice, a touch of ginger.
MMMmmm...also..the smell of sweet cookies baking, and fudge cooking on the stove top.
Warm fragrant smells from the kitchen lifts the spirit and delights the body.


Also...the smell of a Christmas tree....a real Christmas tree, whether it be fir or pine. That smells makes my heart leap!
