The fragrances of Christmas
Some smells seem to be permanently engraved in our memories. Scents synonymous with our fondest childhood memories can take us back through the years in the blink of an eye. A room filled with the scent of cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg will instantly bring to mind Grandma’s gingerbread cookies or Dad’s hot chocolate sprinkled with cinnamon.

with the fir tree, the king of the forest. To ornament your living room with one of these fragrant beauties, choose a balsam fir — its delicious scent makes it the ideal Christmas tree. Other plants and flowers are also great Christmas traditions: • The poinsettia, also known as the Christmas star, is easily recognized by its impressive, bright red bracts; • Holly, with its prickly leaves and red berries, which make it the Christmas symbol par excellence;
• The Jerusalem cherry or winter cherry pro- duces a multitude of small, colourful berries in November that look appetizing but are toxic; • The Christmas cactus, which bears magnifi- cent flowers on the tips of its branches; • The Christmas kalanchoe, whose flowers
come in a range of colours and whose leaves are sometimes tinged with red; • The amaryllis, with its enormous flowers, making it an ideal gift; • Mistletoe, hung from the ceiling and under which tradition demands that two people must kiss.
