What Does candle in window mean

[Lavender2]

OMG lavender, my grandma used to have to tape the candles to the windowsill!! That old scotch tape, and THEN THEY WOULD FLIP OVER and hang upside down. That is so funny we both have that memory. I remember all the time it would take to go around and individually switch on every candle in every window.

Oh that is funny! Yeah, grandma had 7 candles, mom had 10... scotch tape, masking tape, dad even tried electrical tape. I think the candles eventually went missing... dad said they quit working. hmmm.

Mom loves her village in the window though. We set up a big dept 56 village in her big bay window, complete with roads, a ski hill, skating rink, elves everywhere, even a moose in the woods (her favorite). It will be a long day next Monday.. lol ... just happy my sis enjoys helping set it up.

No tape they now have suction cup holders, wet them stickem on glass.

And there goes @Nyboy - walking around the house, licking the suction cups every evening to re-stick the candles to the windows.

HEY! Stick them at different levels in each window... or put one at the bottom, the next one 'sitting' on the right side, the next one 'sitting' upside down from the top...

My life is upside down ,why shouldn't my candles.

@Nyboy, I can explain why upside down works with "fake" candles, but don't try this with the real thing. That WILL bring bad Karma down upon your house.

I have 2 stained glass windows in attic, going to put a candle behind each to light the window.

I would work on getting your life right side up instead of the candles upside down.

Don't let your cousin carry them down from the attic!
