The olfactory sense is designed to register the range of emanations that are components in our natural environment. These possess attendant properties that are either coarse and unattractive and can alert us to danger, or are of the positive, refined and attractive end of the spectrum, providing us with sensory enjoyment.

We have traditions that relate to the sights, the colours, the sounds and the symbols of this sacred season of Christmas and the birth of Christ. All these traditional practices that appeal to us are retained in some degree, whether it is the ornamented fir tree, the nativity symbols, the star of Bethlehem, the candles, the carols, and of course the feasting.
