Your home is probably looking pretty festive by now, but there’s more to great decorating than simply what you can see. Take your seasonal décor to the next level this year by infusing your home with the scents and sounds of Christmas!
Christmas is often associated with sweet peppermint candy canes, spicy gingerbread and the woody scent of fresh cut Christmas trees. What better way to imbue your home with a festive feeling than having the scents of Christmas filling each room? Simply light a candy cane or gingerbread candle in the kitchen or a cedar scented candle in the living room to immediately create a warm, welcoming seasonal environment. You could even add a frankincense and myrrh candle into the mix to create a full sensory experience.
With the scents taken care of, it’s time to think about creating a Christmas soundscape in your home! Music is just as important a decoration as your tree, ornaments and candles. It’s impossible not to get into the Christmas spirit when you’re surrounded by softly playing carols. This is especially true when you’re hosting a party or meal. The right music can create an environment that feels fun and lively, soft and calming or upbeat and happy.
When thinking about festive tunes for your home it’s important to know what you like – you’re the one who will be hearing these songs the most, after all! Are you a classical music fan, or would you rather listen to pop music? If you don’t want to choose just one, why not go for a mix of artists? There’s even something for the kids to sing along to while they’re writing their letters to Santa!
