Question of the Day - Tuesday, December 10

Salutations! Happy Tuesday!






What smell reminds you of Christmas?








Balsam fir or pine, cloves, cardamon, and nutmeg. Also combined spices of course, like Gingerbread and Eggnog.

None, I don't associate smells with Christmas at all. Smells generally don't play much part in memories or associations for me. I also suspect that the different season plays a part. It's the opposite of the very cold northern hemisphere winter, everything closed to keep warm and smells/scents being perhaps concentrated because of that, here - it's summer, doors and windows are open (unless it's so blasted hot the AC has to be on).

Evergreens, cinnamon pine cones, gingerbread, sugar cookies and Swedish glug.

Definitely the pine smell. I've always had a "real" tree. But, to amplify (and some trees don't smell much), we always get a pine scented candle. It's fun to smell and pick one.

Pine, cinnamon, fireplace, eggnog (although I can't stand the stuff), gingerbread.

 

[FeralHearts]

Cinnamon, apple cider and gingerbread. Nothing like it.

It getseven stronger if you add what of those cool, crisp, fresh smelling snow days.
