I throw a Christmas party at my house. It's not really a Christmas party, because I don't want to call it a Christmas party. But let's just say I put a lot of Christmas trees around the house, so it smells good.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love the smell of a real Christmas tree - also, my mum's Christmas pudding with brandy sauce.
On Christmas morning, we always make breakfast, and everyone eats before we open any presents. I make muffins and homemade applesauce, which I don't think anyone likes as much as I do... I just love the way it makes the house smell!
I love cooking during Christmas, all smells like the hot apple cider, the hot spiced wine.
The smell of pine needles, spruce and the smell of a Christmas tree - those to me, are the scents of the holidays.
Before Christmas, I host a party for our kids and all their friends. We love to make a mess while decorating gingerbread houses.
Everyone knows that there are some odors that send you directly back to memories of your childhood - odors from Christmas time and so forth.
I had Hallowe'en parties every year, as it was my birthday five days before. My parents would actually put prosthetic noses on, and my dad would wear a top-hat and tails, put on a fake curly moustache, and hold a pipe.
I start lighting pine-scented candles the day after Halloween.
I like indoor Christmas trees. And I like people who decorate their homes with lights and all that crap. I think it's a healthy outlet for them. If they weren't covering their lawns with twinkling lights, they'd be doing something that was really, really creepy.
If I really like the smell of something - a piece of tar or my goddaughter's plastic doll - I put a tiny piece in a bottle with a label. I keep them in a fridge in my bathroom.
