Love the smell of freshly baked fruitcake and cinnamon scented candles
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
we have artificial trees but I buy pine scented thingys and hide them on the tree. Love pine scent for the season
I agree with Elf Erv - love pine scent, but we have an artificial tree as well. I love walking through the Garden Center of Home Depot at Christmas, just to feel the needles and smell the pine. Refreshing!
Joy to You!
The Pine scent reminds me of something I read years ago. I read that if you boil up some Christmasy spices like ginger and cinnamon it will make your house smell like you've been doing Christmas baking. I've never tried it myself.
And what about the smell of Christmas boxes inside, when you get them down for start decorating..
Maybe, not a great smell, but, I do not know, there is just something happenning when opening the boxes every November..
A smell, that I can not explain..

I know just what you're saying, olga!
We don't have a natural tree at my place for Xmas, but I do love the smell, so every year I get one of those pine-scented candles that always does the trick. We sometimes hang a natural wreath inside, too, which always smells so great.
My favorite christmas smells are the smell of a fire burning in a fireplace or outside, pine, & the smell of my grandma's breakfast casserole cooking in the stove on christmas morning!
