Of all the holy days of the liturgical calendar, none involves the senses more than Christmas. The sensory experiences of Christmas invoke feelings of kinship, generosity, camaraderie and nostalgia. The scents, sights, and sounds of Christmas don’t merely fill our homes, but infuse our hearts as well. The fragrances of spruce, fir and pine waft through our living rooms.
The savoury aromas of roasted meats and the sweet bouquets of cinnamon, nutmeg and peppermint fill our kitchens and dining rooms. Glimmering lights and glittery garlands delight our eyes and lift our spirits. Sidewalks and storefronts join the Christmas panorama.
