BLOGMAS #16: FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SCENT


Oh, candles,

glass jars filled

with soy and wax

and wick, how I love

the smoky campfires

you make of our home.

But really, holiday candles make me swoon. I'm a fool for the pumpkin scents, the various incantations of spruce and fir, even the sugar plum and gingerbread. Nothing makes me happier than walking in the door after work and taking in the smells of winter.

If I really had to nail it down to one scent, my absolute favorite, I'd have to choose Holiday Cheer, one of the many options available at Target. It's got notes of cranberry interspersed with hints of pine and musk that complement everything from the decorations to the flavors in the kitchen.

What's your favorite smell around the holidays?
