Getting into the Christmas Spirit

The Christmas spirit was welcomed at the beginning of October this year as our local John Lewis displayed a selection of their lovely Christmas trees and decorations.

Imogen ringing the Christmas bells. We both love this Christmas Decoration and it really does sound as if Father Christmas is on his way!

To get into the Christmas spirit at home I made some pomanders using oranges and cloves. I love the smell of orange mixed with clove, there’s a warmth to it and a gentle spice. We had a bowl of oranges and a jar of cloves in the cupboard so all that was needed was a few minutes of pushing the cloves into the orange.

The smell is divine. I’ve placed them in our lounge so we can all enjoy the fragrance. And when our Christmas tree goes up at the beginning of December I’ll tie a ribbon around them and add them to the tree as fragrant decorations.

How are you getting into the Christmas spirit this year?
