It's beginning......

.....to smell a lot like Christmas!!!

I have very little decorating done yet....but.....my house smells sooooo good right now!!!

Here's why....

.....first of all.....I gathered these items together:

Then....I peeled the oranges and let the rinds kinda air dry....probably not as long as I should have....but patience isn't a virtue that I claim to have!!!

Then...I dug out my tea pot:

(notice some of my little snowmen in the background.... I  snow-people)

I placed the orange peelings....and a couple of broken up cinnamon sticks....and some cloves....into my tea pot....covered with water....and let simmer....

And....the smell....is....WONDERFUL!!!

Christmas Blessings to you,
