Candles

[lathany]

Anyone recommend a good smell of candle (or should that be flavour of candle) that is Christmassy?

Bayberry, but it's very hard to find, at least here in the States.

I don't think I've come across it before, but I'll have a look.

I did a Google search, and apparently real bayberry candles use wax that comes from the bayberry bush, which is native over here, and they are a colonial tradition for Christmas. I did not know that. I thought it was just a pretty smelling candle. But that would explain why you mightn't have run into them before.
