why a fake x-mas tree would never do

my family got a christmas tree this morning.our house is now consumed by that smell of winter and of pine and of a sense of peace, that it is christmas time and everything is okay, and even more importantly, that everything is going to be okay. that pine smell IS christmas. it feels like christmas time for real now. some scents just have that power to induce certain feelings and certain memories. that christmas tree smell is one of them.
