"This is a trove of stories showing how people have found the spirit of Christmas in later ages. This might be a child in a poor quarter of a Spanish town who is convinced that the kings come to earth again every year to help children, or it may be a simple peasant who lives with the conviction that he will meet Christ in his life. ...This book is divided into five sections:  Advent, the Birth of the Child, the Christmas night through the ages, Christmas in the world, and the Three Kings time. " --- (from the dust jacket)


These versatile wooden spirals are a lovely way to celebrate advent or birthdays. Wooden figures and candles fit into the round holes and can be added or changed to suit the season, or the age of the birthday child.

"Shine, shine little
candle flame, In
feasting take your
part, And as you
burn yourself away,
O shine into my
heart."

Beeswax candles are a gift from nature that embodies a simple and healthy state of being. Most candles are made with paraffin, a petroleum by-product which is not natural and is unhealthy to burn. To prepare paraffin for candle making it is chemically bleached and hardened, then artificially scented. Burning paraffin emits harmful, black soot and pollutes the air. Beeswax is 100% natural and a renewable resource that actually cleans the air by emitting purifying negative ions. Beeswax candles also make the most beautiful, pure, warm light.
