Scent of Christmas

by Randa P. Velox Dec.15.06

Christmas is a season of sharing, a time for family, and of course, for memories. Visions from our past, entwined gently with the creation of new ones. Memories that will be taken forward to future holiday seasons, shared again and again with equal joy and wonder. These beautiful memories, and the many traditions that surround them, lie in the midst of many experiences.

For each of us, the ‘scents of the season’ are different, stemming from a wide range of family experiences and traditions. What remains the same for us all is that the scents play an immense role in our awareness that the season is here, creating the enthusiasm, and childlike excitement that only Christmas can bring.{{more}}
