I can't think of Christmas Eve without thinking of candlelight. So many Christmas traditions include candles Ð Candlelight services on Christmas Eve, Santa Lucia, Advent Wreaths, even lighting the candles on the table for a special meal. One of my most favorite new traditions (or at least since I've known Dugan) is at the end of their family Christmas Party every year, we all hold and light a candle and sing "we wish you a merry Christmas" and have to go around the room and look each person in the eye before the song is over. It sounds silly, maybe, but it's really beautiful. And finally, of course, are the memories of singing "Silent Night," by candlelight at my church. My birthday is on Christmas Eve, and to that effect, I've always appreciated the candles even more. They aren't for me, of course, but they are for Jesus, and it always feels kind of cool that we almost kind of sort of share a birthday. Whether you're displaying this candle in celebration or in remembrance (or both!), I pray it brings you feelings of peace.
