You can smell Christmas here

Here's an easy recipe to get the smell of Christmas in your home. That is if you don't already have a wonderful aromatic tree.

I found it here, where there are plenty more ideas!

Holiday Stove Top Potpourri Mix

• one whole orange or just the orange peel 
• 1/2 cup cranberries 
• 1 Tbsp. whole cloves 
• 3 sticks of cinnamon or a small handful of small pieces of cinnamon 
• a bit of grated nutmeg if desired

1.    Quarter the orange. 

2.    Put all the ingredients into a saucepan.  Fill pan with water. 

3.    Place on the stove on the smallest burner, on the lowest setting. 

4.     Refill water as needed. Mine is on the Aga day and night: lovely!

I don't know if I'll be back before Christmas, but whether I do or don't:

                Merry Christmas!
