Christmastime – Bayberry candle
We Need a Little Christmas
“We Need a Little Christmas” performed by Johnny Mathis is today’s song pick. Johnny Mathis does a good job, and “We Need a Little Christmas” is the opening song in A Muppet Family Christmas, although Mathis doesn’t perform it.
Bayberry candle
On Christmas Eve at 6 PM, my family lights a bayberry candle and we let it burn down until it extinguishes itself.
10th in a series of Christmasy things.
In Ireland, everybody puts a candle in their window pretty much for the whole Christmas season. It’s always lit by the youngest child in the house. I was born in November, and my sister is eleven months younger than me, so I never got to do it. I think this explains a lot about my adult life.
