      "You can taste and smell the cinnamon and ginger which you put there and the smell makes you feel happy that Christmas is arrived." My thoughts exactly!Ginger and cinnamon,both make one feel that the festive season,the season of joy has arrived.
      I am sure that you are having a good time with Nigella Christmas,I love Nigella's shows.She is the goddess herself!
      Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas!:-)
