Merry Christmas everyone!

[MadBunny]

Happy Christmas to you! What a lovely display. Are they Yankee Candles 🤔

[Green230461 in reply to MadBunny]

Yes my sister has bought one each year for quite some time 🎄

[MadBunny in reply to Green230461]

I recognised the shades and plates!I've bought the candles in all shapes and sizes for many years. One of my weaknesses 😁

[Green230461 in reply to MadBunny]

Me too! I try the votives first to see if I like the smell. Currently working through:Christmas EveTree Farm Festival Christmas Eve cocoa and Candlelit Cabin all lovely 💕

[MadBunny in reply to Green230461]

At the moment I've got two old favourites on the go - Angel Wings and Cherries on Snow .I like the wax melts and have several melt warmers.

[Green230461 in reply to MadBunny]

Cherries on snow is on special offer on their website today. Treat yourself to a large candle with eight quid off 😘

[MadBunny in reply to Green230461]

Sounds good. Thanks for the heads up👍

[Green230461 in reply to MadBunny]

Just bought two large 50percent off so that equals a free one by my reckoning! Happy Christmas to me🎄🤶🏻🎅🏻

[MadBunny in reply to Green230461]

Sounds good to me. I used to get lots of mine from QVC shopping channel when they used to do specials - USA only ones . Still got some but trying to make them last.😁

[nomoreheels in reply to MadBunny]

I have one I'm trying to hold on to, now long retired, Stargazer Lily.

[MadBunny in reply to nomoreheels]

I've got lots- there was one called red velvet cake which I wont burn. And my all time favourite was beech wood , I've got 2 jars and some votives and melts.

[nomoreheels in reply to MadBunny]

I guess we each have favourites. I have seen SL on eBay but you don't know how they’ve been stored or even opened as they can degrade over time.

[MadBunny in reply to nomoreheels]

That's true. Some of mine have.

[Green230461 in reply to nomoreheels]

Will look out for it for you!🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻

[nomoreheels in reply to Green230461]

Thanks. As my reply to MB I have seen them but reluctant to buy as you just don't know how they've been stored.

[Pippy25 in reply to Green230461]

Ooh Christmas Eve Cocoa sounds nice. I've a few Yankee candles at the moment, but will look out for this one.

[Green230461 in reply to Pippy25]

It smells just as you would expect warm choccy cinnamon Christmas pud.

[nomoreheels in reply to Green230461]

Another YC fan here. Currently burning Sunlight on Snow. My favourite though is a WoodWick, Pomegranate.

[Green230461 in reply to nomoreheels]

That sounds very exotic. What are the wood wicks like for scent?

[nomoreheels in reply to Green230461]

As good as Yankee, they bought the company a few years ago so I would think they use the same scenting process. They really do sound like a crackling fire too, though not loud of course. I've only had the ellipse shaped ones but they last ages too.

[Green230461 in reply to nomoreheels]

I love candles! Watching them calms my bones!Happy Christmas to you YC are doing big sale I have just bought two 50 percent off. Happy Christmas to me!! 🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻

[nomoreheels in reply to Green230461]

You'd love the WoodWick then, they 'dance' more than a normal wick.

[Green230461 in reply to nomoreheels]

Merry Christmas to you to Green. Hope it's a nice one for you and yours. Your fireplace and mantelpiece look lovely - very tasteful. Once upon a time I used to do something similar with mine - but then we had cats!! It wouldn't last 5 minutes now! Even if we just put birthday or Christmas cards up, they make it their mission to either walk along treading on them and knocking them off, or just brazenly whacking them with their paws! Such fun, eh?!!😁xx

[Green230461 in reply to Kags1068]

Those naughty chaps! Our cat loves tinsel and will sit on it wherever it is🎄

[Kags1068 in reply to Green230461]

Haha! Oh yes, I think I remember you posting a picture a few days ago now. He obviously likes to stand (or sit) guard over it. You wouldn't think it was very comfortable to sit on though would you?!😳xx

[Green230461 in reply to Kags1068]

No not really maybe it keeps her warm🎄

[Kags1068 in reply to Green230461]

I hope so! Sorry I called her him🙄xx

[Green230461 in reply to Kags1068]

That’s okay a girl called Leo will always have issues-woke cat

[Kags1068 in reply to Green230461]

Haha - yes I remember now. I guess after 20 years she must be used to it!! xx

[springcross]

Merry Christmas to you too Green, hope it'll be a good one! 🎅🤶🎄☃️

[Green230461 in reply to springcross]

Thank you very much. 🎄

Merry Christmas Green230461. I have the same metal tree as you have above your fireplace! Never seen it anywhere else. Bought it in Polperro a few years ago😀
