Smelling Like the Holidays

Getting your house to smell inviting and delicious for the holidays doesn't take endless candles, air fresheners and plug-ins... it just takes some water and a few spices.

Get a small pot for the stove and put in a few inches of water (the smaller the pot, the faster it boils which is a good thing). Drop in a cinnamon stick and a few cloves. You can also add a sprinkle of ginger or orange/lemon peel if you have it or want to. Turn up the heat and within a few minutes, your kitchen, and soon the rest of your house, will smell like Christmas!

This tactic works faster and, I think, better than candles. Plus, you don't have to worry about the stuff that burns off candles if you're worried about that. And... it's cheap :)
