Why does rosemary remind you of Christmas?

One thing that gets me every time is the smell of fresh basil. When I make a recipe involving basil, I spend a fair amount of time just standing there and smelling it. I know, it sounds ridiculous, and I suppose it is. But, it's my kitchen, so my rules!

Oh no, is not ridiculous! I do the same thing...basil is fantastic. But I also do this with sage and thyme...if it was a sage or thyme scent, I should buy them!

I'd guess fresh rosemary = pine needles. The first picture is rosemary, and the second is pine needles. Or, is it the other way around?

Bacon. There is a lovely Bed-and-Breakfast Inn that I've stayed at in the past that lets you select your breakfast the night before from little menus the Inn owner provides. The first time I stayed there I did not check off "bacon". When I came down in the morning to get my first cup of tea I could smell the bacon halfway up the steps. I poked my nose into the kitchen and asked if I could add a couple rashers of bacon to my plate. She laughed and said she always made more than ordered because what I was doing right then always happened with new people!
