Smells like Christmas

Not to eat! This is a fantastic little potpourri concoction that will fill your house with the most glorious smell during the holidays.

2 oranges sliced, with the peels on
1 lemon sliced, with the peel on
4-5 cinnamon sticks (or just 1 Tbs. regular ground cinnamon)
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. ginger
1 Tbs. whole cloves
1 Tbs. allspice (may be omitted)
1 cup water

Put everything into a small slow cooker or a small saucepan and simmer on low heat. You can add water and continue using for up to several days, until the scent is gone. For the full effect, start it simmering then go for a brief walk outside. When you come back, you'll think you've died and gone to the North Pole.
