Scents of Nostalgia

Scents of NostalgiaEach Christmas Eve, Tracy and her family make the short drive from their own farm to Peggy’s cozy farmhouse to celebrate with a festive gathering. Vintage Santa figures, lovingly collected through the years, preside over the affair. Stockings hang at the hearth, while gifts nestle beneath the boughs of a bauble-laden fir. But it is the intermingling of aromas—compliments of Hillhouse’s holiday lines—that calls to mind memories of fresh-cut trees foraged from a nearby forest and spiced cider bubbling away on the stove. Surrounded by beloved kin, warmed by a crackling fire, and with the promise of flurries in the forecast, all within this snug abode feel blessed by the joy of this wondrous season.
