What’s one of the most iconic symbols of Christmas? If you guessed the Christmas candle, you’re right! Candles have been used to celebrate Christmas for centuries, and today they remain a popular decorative element. Many people enjoy the gentle light and inviting scent of a burning candle, and it can really help to create a festive atmosphere. If you’re looking to add a bit of holiday cheer to your home this year, why not try placing some candles around your living room? You could even get creative and try making your own Advent wreath with candles! Whatever you do, don’t forget to blow them out before you go to bed… unless you want Santa to know you’re awake, that is!
Did you know that the tradition of decorating homes with candles at Christmas started in Germany? Germans believed that if they placed a lighted candle in their windows, it would guide the spirit of the Christ child to their homes on Christmas Eve. Today, electric lights are more commonly used to decorate homes during the holidays, but candles are still a popular way to spread holiday cheer. Here are some fun facts about Christmas candles:
- The world’s largest ever recorded Christmas candle was six feet tall and weighed over 800 pounds!
- In Finland, it is traditional to bake cookies in the shape of candles and place them on the graves of loved ones on Christmas Eve. This is done to remember those who have passed away and to let them know that they are still loved and missed.
- Cartoon characters such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Santa Claus are often depicted holding candles. This is likely because candles were once used to light the way for Santa on his Christmas Eve journey around the world.
Whether you use them to decorate your home or give them as gifts, Christmas candles are a wonderful way to bring some extra holiday cheer into your life!
