Had a lovely day out with my family today. My dad's sister came to visit with my Gran. We spent some time (& a LOT of money) Christmas shopping and enjoyed lunch together before taking them to see my flat. Unfortunately my Gran isn't very well at the moment so they went home late afternoon instead of staying for dinner & visiting the Christmas market like we had originally planned. It was still a great day though & good to catch up with them.
The thing that evokes Christmas memories most for me is scent. Every time I use Radox chamomile handwash I am instantly taken back to the year I got my Sylvanian Families windmill & barge, my favourite toy ever! I still remember the pink dressing gown I wore & washing my hands in the bathroom with my mum before going downstairs to see what Santa had brought that Christmas morning. It's such a strong memory & a very happy one, always makes me smile. Another scent I relate to Christmas is this Mandarin Clove & Cinnamon Room Spray from M&S. My mum first bought it when I was 7 & still gets it most years. My auntie surprised me with a bottle today along with the pot pourri so now my flat will smell nice & festive.
