Decorating our Christmas tree is one of my favorite holiday activities. I take time to admire old keepsake ornaments as well as the pasta-and-glitter-covered ornaments my kids gifted to me when they were in preschool. Each ornament holds a special memory. But once all the lights are strung and the star is affixed to the top of the tree, it still feels like something is missing. I love the smell of a real Christmas tree, but we’ve had an artificial tree for years. To make my home feel and smell like Christmas, I like to burn candles like this new Better Homes and Gardens 12oz Noble Fir and Pine Scented 3-Wick Tin Candle, ($10, Walmart) which has the scent of a fir and pine tree. This three-wick candle provides more than 100 hours of burn time, so you’re sure to enjoy many family gatherings surrounded by the pleasing fragrance of a Christmas tree. Here are more new holiday candles to put you in the Christmas spirit.

It's not overly fragrant and smells natural."
