The sights, sounds and smells of the holiday season
Today, we finally brought our Christmas tree inside. LJ and I were vacuuming up around the bottom of it and picking the bits and pieces of straw and other things that didn't need to be there. LJ was quite excited and wanted to immediately put up the angel on the top of the tree. He wondered which came first, the lights or the decorations. He searched for the baby Jesus for the nativity scene as it had gone "missing" because he had been making it another bed out of modeling clay that was "better than straw." All of a sudden he announced "Our Christmas tree smells like donuts!!!" "What?!" I asked wondering if I had heard him accurately. "Our tree smells like donuts!" I explained that it was a pine tree and most people call what they smell a pine scent. He thought for a moment and said "To me.......our tree smells like donuts!" I am beginning to wonder where he has been eating pine scented donuts.
