Want your house to really smell like Christmas? Give this a try. I’ve hosted two Christmas gatherings at my house this season and got this going on the stove about an hour before each event started and it made the house smell so good and welcoming. And it’s so easy!

1 orange with rind, sliced

1/2 cup fresh cranberries

2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half

1 teaspoon whole or ground cloves

4 cups water

Combine all ingredients in pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let bubble away! Add water as needed to keep it going.
