Description
This hand-made Christmas candle counts you down to the big day. It is a tall, slim pillar in paraffin wax, dip-dyed in three bands that run from light at the top to dark at the base, with the numbers 1 to 24 printed in a single column down one side. Each number stands for a day of December, so the candle marks the days from the first of the month to Christmas Eve. At 25cm tall and 5cm across it stands well on its own, and the maker gives it a burn time of 60 hours.
Light it each evening through December and let it burn down to that day's number, then put it out until the next. It turns the weeks before Christmas into a small daily ritual for the whole household, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who looks forward to December all year. Stand it on the dining table, a sideboard or the mantelpiece with the numbers turned towards the room, so everyone can see how close Christmas is. It sits comfortably among seasonal greenery, pine cones and wrapped presents, and it is just as much at home on a hall table or a kitchen dresser through the festive weeks.
Each candle is made by hand and dip-dyed, which gives the three bands their gentle edges where one meets the next. It is 100% paraffin, the classic candle wax, with a 100% cotton wick, and it weighs 0.425KG. For the neatest look, stand it on a flat candle plate or in a holder made for a 5cm pillar, and turn the numbers to face where you sit so each evening's number is easy to read.
