Was doing a little work out back and collected a few things to bring inside that smelled so Christmassy:  redwood, bay, rosemary, even a couple of roses.

But it would not be without guile on my part to imply that everything I was collecting out there smelled great.  Fact is, the actual work I was doing was shoveling up after my three canine companions when I happened to notice the sweet-smelling flora.  I do love those dogs!
