Good morning! Often we think "visually" when decorating, but sound
and scent both appeal to the senses, too, and can help set the stage
for the holidays.
Fa, la, la,
la, la: Dig out your Christmas music or find a local station
that carries twenty-four hour Christmas music. Whenever you are at
home, make sure to turn on some Christmas carols in the background.
Jingle all the
way: Adding jingle bells to your main doors is another way to
use sound in your decorating.
Simmer Scents:
Kitchen potpourri is easy to make and a delight to have filtering
throughout the house. Place a pot on the simmer burner of your range.
Add oranges studded with cloves and cinnamon sticks to some water. Let
the pot simmer on a cold winter day, to infuse your house with spicy
aromas and a little extra humidity.
Candles:
Burn candles or use air fresheners scented with cinnamon, cranberry,
orange, pine, coffee, cocoa, cider, or other scents loved by your
family.
For the birds:
Use bread dough to make circular wreaths. Press wild-bird seed into the
wreaths, then bake as directed. Tie a ribbon and Christmas bow for
hanging. Decorate an outdoor tree for a feather-friendly holiday.
Your Turn:
Schedule some time to implement one of these simple tips to enhance
your home for the season.
Today's
Affirmation: I enjoy all the senses of the season.
