Candles, Candles,

 and more Candles!!

One very popular craft or trade that we do in our house is candle making. My mom has a table covered in candles and stuff she uses to make them. They cast such a heavenly smell throughout the house, it’s really very pleasant. Just the right smell for the Christmas season. She does the candle making most of the time by herself, but sometimes she lets us help with stuff like cutting and hanging up the wick.
