The holidays right around the corner, and covid 19 may be impacting your daily routine and social life, but it doesn’t have to ruin the joy and excitement that you’ve grown to love this time of year. You might be wondering how to help get in the Christmas spirit this year, or perhaps how to help your friends and family get into the holidays and leave behind the bad news that seems to bombard us all day long. One of the best ways to help you get in the mood and feel better about this time of year is with scented candles. 

Our olfactory senses are strong and tied closely to our memories and experiences. We’ve all had a smell bring us back to a time long past, whether it’s the fall leaves, pumpkin pie, Christmas baking, sunscreen – you name it, and you probably have a strong memory tied in with it. 

T’is the season to be burning candles.

It’s the best time of year to be burning scented candles and getting the most of what they have to offer. As the weather turns colder, we tend to stay home a bit more. Especially this year!
