Smell is a very powerful sense. It is capable of setting off innumerable responses in human bodies. It causes us to recall memories, vividly and accurately. It triggers the sensation of hunger or makes mouths water. It causes reactions that are physical like a smile and a deep breath when we smell delicious scent. The sense of smell is responsible for the way things taste. It is during holidays that scent plays an important part in one’s sense of memories, comfort and enjoyment. Here's how you could fill your home with the fragrances of Christmas.

When you bake something delicious in the oven that is when the smell will trigger the feeling that Christmas is round the corner.
