By now, you may have decked the halls for the holidays, and while your home may look merry, you can also make it smell festive as well. There are several natural ways to make your home smell like Christmas.
Here are a few natural ways to make the fragrance of your home as cheery as it looks.
Simmer potpourri.
In a pot, combine water with your favorite holiday spices such as cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg, and orange peels. Bring the mixture to a simmer on the stove, and let the aroma fill your home.
Bake holiday treats.
Prepare traditional Christmas recipes like gingerbread cookies, cinnamon rolls, or apple pie. The delicious scent of these baked goods will instantly create a festive atmosphere
Use essential oils.
Add a few drops of essential oils with holiday scents, such as pine, fir, cinnamon, or peppermint, to a diffuser or spray bottle filled with water. Spritz or diffuse the mixture throughout your home to create a cozy Christmas ambiance.
Hang dried orange slices.
Slice oranges into thin rounds and place them on a baking sheet. Dry them in a low-temperature oven until they are completely dehydrated. Thread a string through the dried slices and hang them around your home. The citrusy aroma will add a refreshing touch of Christmas.
Create an herbal sachet.
Fill a small fabric pouch with dried herbs like rosemary, lavender, pine needles, and cloves. Place the sachet in drawers, closets, or near radiators. As the herbs release their natural scents, your home will be filled with a delightful Christmas fragrance.
Remember, these methods are natural and safe, but always be cautious when using heat sources or essential oils to avoid any potential hazards.
