Candles

by Brian Warren on 06 December, 2005 • 2 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”.
