When you think of Christmas candles, you tend to think of warming scents, but it is important not to ignore the other type of Christmas candle on the market. Scent is not the only sense you have to work with at xmas, and the lighting effect of a good candle can make your Christmas seem a bit more cosy within its flickering light making winter seem a little less forbidding. Scent is not to be ignored however and it’s important to get this right over Christmas too.

A good way to use Christmas candles is in the advent to Christmas. Many people use the tradition of advent to light a candle, which burns down a number on the lead up to Christmas. This is a good way to show the kids a good traditional way of counting down to Christmas without having to spend a fortune on chocolate advent calendars. You can introduce this tradition to Christmas in your home and make it a family affair, gather round and tell Christmas stories while the candle burns down.

Some people prefer to use yankie candles to light their home over the Christmas period. There is something about looking at flickering candlelight, whilst you listen to the radio, or talk about the memories made over other Christmases to really make your Christmas warm and cosy. However, you can also spice things up the other way.  Any party can become more festive with a citrusy invigorating scent and can keep the party going as long as they burn. You could even turn a daytime party into a cosy evening dinner by alternating the use of different scents depending on what time of the day it is. Candles can be used to great effect during the Christmas season.

There are many varying ways to use xmas candles to boost your holiday season. From giving gifts of candles to excite your friends and family, to placing them in the room of guests coming to stay to immediately give the festive fresh feel to any room. Scents of pine in the bathroom, and flickering warm winter candlelight in the bathroom at night, can make the winter nights seem cosy instead of cold and long. If you follow the tips above, then you could certainly make this Christmas just a little bit brighter.
