Preparation
Besides decorating, one of the best ways to make your home feel like the holidays is to make it smell like the holidays. Scent is the sense most closely tied to memory and tradition, after all. Lighting candles, putting up a fresh Christmas tree, and baking cookies are all obvious ways to fill your home with holiday aromas, but there’s another often-overlooked way to make your space feel more festive: cleaning products. While you might associate cleaning with scents like lemon, the products you use to wipe down your home can smell warm, comforting, and cozy—just like the holidays. Giving your cleaning products the “holiday upgrade” is just one more way you can embrace the season.
