So the wife has been slowly letting a pot of water simmer away to add a bit of humidity to our dry air and she decided to add some Christmas cheer:
1 large pot of boiling water reduced heat to a very slight simmering
add spice such as:
cinnamon
nutmeg
ground cloves
all spice
slice or two of orange or lemon
Makes the house smell like yum and will add some nice atmosphere to the festive season.
