#21 All the Romance, No Trip to the ER

I love candlelight, especially at Christmas. I prefer beeswax candles, tapers and votives, but until my little Katie is old enough that I don't have to worry she'll set her sleeves on fire, I keep the ambiance to a minimum for now. Thank goodness for whoever invented Flameless Candles. The best versions have wax pillars, last for 30 hours, and have timers so they turn themselves off after a set length of time. Any house with children should have plenty in the pantry for the season. I buy mine at Pottery Barn, but they can be found in most home, garden, or hardware stores.
