This potpourri was a little hostess gift given to me a few years ago that I just loved. I simmer it every Christmas. It makes your home smell wonderful.
It also makes a great homemade gift for your neighbors, the mail carrier, teachers, and others this Christmas season.

I bet is smells wonderful.
A couple of years ago I received something very similar to this (a teacher gift) minus the red hot candies! I usually simmer it every year! In fact I had a pot on my stove simmering on Thanksgiving! My hubby thought it was so weird! Too bad sometimes they just don't get it!! It smelled so GOOD!!! I am going to have add the red hots next time!
