Ahh back in the good old days every single Christmas tree in Scandinavia had live candles. Sometimes more than often the candle holder would tilt a bit and wax from the candle would drop on the floor. Not fun times for mom who had to scrape the wax to get rid of it.
Young me never understood to be a afraid of the three catching fire. It was the dripping of the wax baby.
Beautiful and serene absolutely yes. But no, I would never go back to having live candles in a Christmas tree anymore.
Aww I love this! I just cannot imagine those open flames on that tree. How does that not go up in flames in 30 seconds flat?! 😱💕 I’m totally putting Les Trois Rois on my bucket list. If I get myself there, I’ll meet you there for a fancy drink 😂
The thing with real candles and live Christmas trees, it's advisable that the tree is very fresh and not dried out. Also, do not leave unattended for even a second! A raging inferno in the living room will definitely ruin Christmas dinner. A burning tree combusts completely within 10 seconds, and spreads to curtains and everything else. I'll stick to my fairy lights. Sorry to be a party pooper.
I have to agree with you! Although in the states I saw a very cute electrical contraption that had the little candles on clasps, but it was electric. I’d be down for that! 👌👏

Fear of the drip is why we don’t use red candles anymore. They are a nightmare to scrape off the wood floor.

Well, that’s terrifying. I’ll try not to think about it while enjoying my candle lit tree.

It’s a date!! (The first time we lit the candles I had a spray bottle and a bucket of water on hand. I was like, this is bananas!)
That’s what I kept thinking! And do you just sit there and let it go for 45 seconds then shut the whole thing down?! Lol! 😂
What a delightful post! Can't help but smile at this one.
How nice!! 😊
How lovely to be chosen as a Nice Thing! Thank you so much. 💚❤️
Thank you for creating such a delightful Stack!
Aperitif at the bar of Les Trois Rois, then a stroll to work up an appetite for dinner at Chez Donati. There's worse things in life...
