SCENTS OF THE SEASON

 
I love to fill my house with the scents of the season. Cooking and baking is one thing that brightens the mood and fills the nostrils with holiday cheer. But my hubby has COPD, so I can't spray anything festive in the air. Steaming potpourri is another no-no. I'd light candles, but the flame isn't good, nor the soot they produce... for his condition. So I had about given up on this simple pleasure. Then... I bought myself a candle warmer. It heats the wax so that the fragrance is gently released. My hubby seemed to have no problem with it. So... now I can enjoy all the delightful scents of the candles and his COPD is not aggravated. Therefore... I was so excited when I saw the latest Yankee Candle Display for the Christmas season. My favorite is the Holiday Cinnamon and coming in a close second... is the Balsam and Spruce. I bought a couple to bring home. Buy one, get one free SALE.  Do you light candles, year round... or just at the holidays?
