To have your best Christmas ever, I am convinced that you have to engage all your physical senses… hearing, smell, taste, touch, and sight… and your spiritual senses… imagination, intuition, empathy, motivation, awareness, to name a few.
Welcome back. We are exploring 28 ways to make this your Best Christmas Ever!
#25 is… The Sights, smells, and sounds of Christmas.
How do you experience Christmas through the sense of hearing? What are your favorite sounds at Christmas? Christmas music, Church bells, children laughing, carolers singing, gifts being opened, the fire crackling…
How do you experience Christmas through the sense of smell? What does Christmas smell like for you? Apple pie, pecan pie, the smell of a fresh Christmas tree, incense at church, crisp cold fresh air, hot chocolate, gingerbread, an open fire, pudding, cinnamon…
