Let's not also forget the smell of fresh, crisp snow!

^ first snow smells lovely.
Well, my christmas smells are pine, hyacinth, mince pies, candles and gingerbread.
Weird as it sounds, but PAINT. My dad made it a point to paint our house in a new color every Christmas time.
They just opened a Bath & Bodyworks at the mall right by my house, and they have a wide array of WONDERFUL 'Holiday' scented Candles.
My favorites are the Snow Apple Mint and Fresh Balsam - they're both so strongly connected to Christmas!!!
Also (and I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet!) the smell of a Turkey roasting in the oven!

The smell of the cookies I bake, the day I start decorate home for Christmas...
When 1st day is over and have almost finish with living room, I go to the kitchen and
start baking my fav chocolate chip cookies. Late in the night, I put them in Christmas jars...
Honestly, that smell takes me back to my childhood...

A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens (1843)

the smell of pine needles when you walk down the street past the xmas tree stalls or when u finally get one in your front room!
also mulled wine is sooo good..
Hands down, the smell of Struffoli. Christmas Honey Balls. I remember standing around as a kid waiting for them to finish..
"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens
