Since one cannot attend big parties this Christmas, it would be a good idea to decorate the house to elevate your mood. Here is an idea — you invite your friends, order scented candles and have an aromatic therapy session. Here is a festive list of curated holiday essentials, and themed lounge-wear, that can choose from.
