Your Favorite Holiday Smells, Ranked. (Also, No One Really Knows What #8 Smells Like)
Also, it's not the smell of Scotch on your drunk uncle's breath.
Anyway, Thanksgiving is over, so it's straight into Christmas news.
And an early Christmas poll asked people to rank their favorite holiday SMELLS.
The poll was done by a group called the "REAL Christmas Tree Board." So it's not surprising what came in FIRST.
Also, isn't that was Ryan Reynolds was singing about in "Spirited"?
Check it out. I don't care if you don't "do" musicals. It's brilliant. (Also, it was filmed in Boston.)
ANYWAY.
Back to the list.
Coming in at #8: Chestnuts.
People are lying. No one knows what these smell like. NO ONE UNLESS THEY ARE SANTA. Or Nat King Cole.

You gotta get real close to smell cocoa, but yeah, it's Christmas-y.
# 3 Cinnamon
Too much and you're in the potpourri section at a Hallmark store in the late 80s. So proceed with caution.

56% said it's one of their favorite holiday smells.
