Oranges and Cloves…
My nose always acts surprised when Christmas comes and it’s time for making these ornaments. I always make them. I love them. I love the combination of Orange and Cloves. It’s the essence of Christmas and they will make my home a brighter and happier home for some weeks in December…
If I should forget making them, I can rest assured that my kids will remind me to make the Christmas Oranges, as Oline (my daugther) calls them. I make them for hanging – in red silk they will hang all over the house and make us think Holiday, but I also make them for just lying on a table. The smell is wonderful and I actually think it’s about time. I better buy some Oranges tomorrow :-)
