Candles

by Brian Warren on 06 December, 20052 Comments

One of my favorite Christmas traditions growing up was the burning of drip candles. Each child got their own (empty!) bottle of chianti, and each year we’d burn a drip candle on it. Every year the drips would build. Of course, being a boy, I enjoyed this because it involved fire, and of course, being the oldest, my candle had the most build-up of drip (except for Dad’s).

When my wife and I married, we started a candle for her, and this year we celebrate our fifth christmas together.

Here’s our candles.

  1. I think that’s an awesome tradition, and I’m glad that you’ve kept it up. Does the tradition have any special meaning? The lighting of the Advent candles is a tradition in my family. However, we still have not found which box they are in from the move this year.

  2. No real special meaning that I know of, just a fun tradition. No real “the candle represents this, and the drips represent that”.
