 Christmas Candles

 
Frankly speaking, Christmas candles are no different / from any other decorative candle / that you might find in the shops all through the year. / But the very fact that they are lit up during Christmastime gives them the look of a festival. / Christmas candles are big in size and designed in several shapes. / You will find the common round shaper /—Christmas candles tend to play up on the thickness so that they can burn longer, / all through the Christmas Eve if desired. /
 
Traditional colors of Christmas candles are preferably red or golden, the colors of the season. / But you will find all colors on the shelves nowadays. / However, if other colors are used,/ they are often decorated with obvious Christmas designs / to make them part of the season. / Red and golden candles are usually kept as they are, / because the colors themselves lend grace to the season.
