Christmas time is the period when all of us should get the deserved brake from our everyday lives. Plus, it is cold outside and the days are getting shorter. We need more light, physically and spiritually. That's why this is the right time to turn to our families and enjoy in a real festival of light.
Though, trying to make it all look perfect on Christmas may sometimes bring a lot more stress than joy. The house cleaning, decorating, shopping for gifts...
Drive off the tiring darkness by turning your home into a warm and cosy refuge. Let the Christmas in! Candles with motifs of Christmas will serve as appropriate decorations, reminders of the seasonal celebrations, creators of a warm atmosphere and the light we yearn for.
Try making it easier on yourself. Plan ahead and decide which christmas candles will make the Yule-tide festive. There are candles in reds and greens, in shapes and colors of Christmas bells, Santas, stars, snowmen, everything that reminds us of the most enchanting time of the year.
You may want to place christmas candles in your front window. When you are coming home, soft candlelight from the windows will immediately remind you that you are returning to an oasis of calm and it will welcome you and your guests into the house. It is a Christian belief that lighted candles in the window serves to welcome Mary and Joseph who are in need of a place to rest, or to guide the Christ Child as he is wandering from house to house on Christmas Eve.
One of the lovely Christmas customs is burning a large Christmas candle that will represent Christ the Lord, and then praying for the souls of our loved ones. Some people their Christmas candle to burn until the Christmas morning. It is believed by some that it will bring luck to the family throughout the next year. Also, when the custom of carol singing started in America, the first Christmas eve carolings were reserved only for houses with candles lighted in their windows.
A great idea to get right into the Christmas spirit - have a lot of small Santa candles or Christmas Tree candles in your home, so you can give them as presents to anyone who drops by around Christmas. They will surely be pleasantly surprised. Or use them to fill up your centerpieces. Combine them with little red, white, green or gold votive candles, or add cypress, mistletoe or evergreen, a few pine cones, bows, ornaments, holly, foliage.
And for yourself, at least during those Christmas days, let the magic into your house, enjoy your Christmas dinner surrounded by candles. Throughout the holidays, candles will bring in the natural source of light and help you recharge your batteries.
