Five Senses of Christmas

The smells of Christmas - The smells of Christmas, such the smell of pine trees, snow, and Christmas deserts cooking. All come together to stimulate the memories of past holidays from when i was younger.
The sights of Christmas - The sights of Christmas, such as the bright, vibrant colors of red and green and white standout from the everyday normality of life and lighten the mood of the people nearby.
The sounds of Christmas - The sounds of Christmas music ringing through the radios and on the televisions, the wrapping paper being shredded by the young hands so eager to see whats inside. Are all a medley of tones that remind us of the fun times we had as children.
The touches of Christmas - The smaller touches, the little good deeds or the hanging of a wreath or decoration on the door or home of a neighbor or friend bring everyone closer.
The tastes of Christmas - The sweet and subtle tastes, like the candy canes sticking to your fingers and melting on your tongue provide a wonderful contrast to the boring everyday foods.
