Anyone who knows me knows two things: I have the nose of a hound, and I love Christmas with a passion. That’s why my natural Christmas tree is as massive as my living room can take, and why my tree smelling foul this year from the off sent me into a tailspin.
Despite picking the tree ourselves and having it freshly cut from a brilliant Christmas tree farm last weekend, when we got it home, as we set it up in the stand, we noticed a terrible, putrid smell. I thought we might have to get rid of it, until I tried a homemade vinegar deodorizing spray.
