Christmas Candle Decorations
Throughout history, candles have been offered as gifts and used to ward off darkness. This tradition has continued, especially during the festive holidays. Candles are commonly used for Christmas decoration. They also make ideal Christmas presents for your friends and loved ones.
Fill your home with festive fragrance, colour and candlelight this Christmas with scented candles and add a touch of magic to a wonderful time of year. Look out for traditional Christmas scents such as mulled wine, mountain pine, cinnamon and gingerbread spice. Christmas candles come in vibrant colours of green, red, white and gold. And the warm glow of candlelight will create a cosy Christmas atmosphere in your home.
Candle Tradition
Placing a candle on the windowsill on Christmas Eve is a tradition which is still practised in the UK today. This is a Christian traditional which is centuries old, symbolising the welcoming of Mary and Joseph as they travelled looking for shelter and also practised to guild the Christ Child as he wandered from house to house on Christmas Eve. During the Victorian era, candles were placed on Christmas trees for decoration. Tradesmen and merchants would give bundles of pine-oil perfumed tapered candles, tied together as gifts to their loyal patrons.
