Crimson and Holly



In my kitchen windowsill is a Glade candle . . spruce it up / apple cinnamon...that fills my kitchen with the most amazing smells of the season.  The spruce aroma is one I only can imagine never having been around a spruce tree.  I normally buy a spruce scent to spray on my artificial tree each year.  These scents are, however, exactly what I have in mind for Crimson and Holly.  Think of the deepest Christmas red velvet and a dark hunter green, something actually regal and expensive. After spending about twenty minutes searching the web for a picture to reflect the vision I have in my mind, I have to confess, I could not find one:  crushed red velvet with satin fringe, green glass, gold, holly leaves, poinsettias, a fireplace and deep rich wood.  The tree needs to have white lights, but only sparsely lit with green and crimson glass ornaments.  I always hear "red, gold and green" playing in a violin concerto.
