Happy Yuletide!
An excerpt from the article There is a tradition of making a wish at the Winter Solstice, of burning pieces of paper with wishes or affirmations written on them. When creating a Winter Solstice candle, you will infuse the molten wax with your wish or intent and release it with the burning of the candle. |
It's the season of cookies spiced with ginger, wine mulled with allspice, cinnamon and orange peel, minty candy canes, and the fresh, intoxicating scent of pine needles. So much of what I love about this time of year is tied up in smells and tastes ... the entire season is an amazing sensory experience! Add to that the warmth of a crackling fire (or a steaming radiator) counteracting the frost on the windows, and the warmth of love for friends and family counteracting the winter blahs and the overcrowded malls. The solstice season is a magical time of year when we can finally slow down, enjoy everything the world has to offer our senses and our hearts, and snuggle deep down in our beds as the sun starts to slowly make its return.|
