Bringing nature indoors is so important when the temperature is freezing outside! Natural fragrances for your home are easy and inexpensive to create yourself. This Christmas we cut a concolor fir tree for our Christmas tree. The scent, amazingly, is of oranges and pine. I like to take the branches, especially the needles, and cut them up, add water to a small sauce pan, and simmer on the stove. It fills the whole house with such a festive fresh garden fragrance! Another variation is to take orange rind and pine from your yard and simmer in a bit of water as well. So while you wrap presents, bake, and get ready for your holiday - enjoy this relaxing garden fragrance from my home to yours. Happy Holidays!
