Christmas Candles

The lack of a Christmas tree...

It's been a while since I moved to the city... away from the country side that I love so much.
The city's got its advantages too, but around this time there's one big disadvantage that I seem to notice lol...
There is no way I could actually get a Christmas tree into my apartment... unless of course I could find someone willing and able to pull the tree up through the window of the second floor (where my apartment is) ... ???

I didn't think so.

So this is my solution to the lack of a Christmas tree.
Christmas Candles:

Thanks to my mom, who works for a candle company... dare I say it... heck yeah, it's my website you know ! ok, my mom works for Spaas, and sometimes she can bring candles for me... like things they would normally throw away or things that she just gets from the people there (that is if she doesn't like them all that much herself. heheh.) Sometimes I just ask her to buy some for me too so it's not like it's always for free either.

Anyway, what's funny is that last weekend, when my friends came over we were lighting tea lights, like the red ones in the picture.
The thing is, the only tea lights that are really good are the ones from Spaas. I wouldn't normally say this because I simply am not a suck up like a lot of people. But the thing is the candles that weren't from Spaas just went out by itself and the candles that were from Spaas nicely burnt till the end... like they said.. so I no longer have to take my mom's word for it. lol.
(If you read this.... Can my mom have a raise, for my advertisement here !!! wink Hey you can't blame me for trying, cuz no matter whether or not I voluntarily mentioned you guys it's still in your commercial advantage)

So anyway, as long as I'm careful and don't burn down my house with all these candles (that would be just my luck...hm.)

Anyway, I'm glad that I was able to buy a couple of gifts already.
Oh and the big brown package in the back is one that I got from my best friend, Tom Lomino from Long Island. (Hi Tom!! promise I won't open it till Christmas.)

that's all for now... too long already ... pffuh ... it's my journal so... heheh..

I love being in this Christmas mood. santasmile

Love,
Marsha
