Candle Day

Candles offer more than just light — fill your home with sweet scents and transform any space into a warm oasis.

For those who absolutely love the joy of lighting candles to provide warm, soft light as well as a delightful fragrance to their homes, especially in winter time, Candle Day is a beautiful way to usher in the cooler season.

History of Candle Day

Typically celebrated on the first Saturday of December, Candle Day was founded by the American retail company, Bath & Body Works. Originally owned by the Limited Brands, which also owns brands such as Victoria’s Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch, the first store in the Bath & Body Works chain was opened in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1990.

Selling products for the body, as the name implies, the company grew rapidly and now runs more than 2000 stores all over the world, 1600 of which are in the United States.

Bath & Body Works is a brand that is particularly beloved for its amazing scents that have a wide range of popularity, from fruity scents to flowers and also offering a line for men. Some of the most popular scents have been Sweet Pea, Japanese Cherry Blossom, Cucumber Melon and Country Apple.

Within these popular scent lines, as well as many others, are many products such as body lotions, fragrances, room sprays and, of course, candles. And for many people, Candle Day is one of the best times of the year to celebrate at Bath & Body Works because that’s when they hold some of their best sales.

Because the season for Christmas and other winter holidays often includes gift-giving, and because candles make incredible gifts, Candle Day was started in 2013. Plus, it’s a great time to simply stock up on candles for the cold, winter months.

So get ready for the fun and celebration of Candle Day!

How to Celebrate Candle Day

Candle Day offers a variety of options for just about any personality, whether looking for some time to spend at home or getting out and taking advantage of various sales. Consider celebrating with some of these ideas:

Light a Candle

Candles can bring so much comfort and warmth to a room, especially if they also envelop the room with a cozy and delicious scent. Fragrances such as Champagne Toast, Cinnamon Apple, or Strawberry Pound Cake are a lovely way to enjoy the day.

Buy a Candle (or Several!)

Head to the local Bath & Body Works to get access to their Candle Day sales and discounts, or look them up online and have the products delivered directly. This annual event typically provides customers with the opportunity to get the brand’s most famous 3-wick candles at a deeply discounted price. Other brands, such as Yankee Candle, may also be offering special prices in honor of Candle Day.

Give a Candle for Candle Day

What a great time to delight and surprise someone with a little present in honor of Candle Day! Find out which scents are a friend’s favorite and get them a large winter-themed pillar candle in honor of the season. Or leave a small votive on the desk of a coworker as a little bit of encouragement.

happy anniversary 📦🖤

#im. hmm #anyone who knows me should know how much this match destroyed me #i woke up on a saturday morning at 6am to watch this show. i cried for maybe like an hour if not longer after it was ovef #*over #it lives rent free in my head but it also fucked me up so badly i havent been able to watch it in full again since #this is by far the best thing kip has ever done in this company and im so fucking sad it was so short-lived (the feud only lasted for like a #month/five weeks in total i think. last week of november through december and this was the first week of january #if memory serves right. but anyways)#this was a huge moment and a culmination of an incredible tho way too short of a feud that still creates bad blood between them #im just. yeah. yeah...#im very tired i cant put words in the correct order right now #i really hope they run this back this year and kip gets his flowers and the title he deserves #wrestling #boxman saga

I want to be creative so bad, but the thought of having to go to the hospital again and spent so much time not being able to do what I want in my free time and the fact that I got so many weekends stolen from me which I normally needed to recharge my creative energy, is making it really hard to get motivated, especially when you know you barely get comments anyway and nobody gives you the feeling they actually read your stuff even though you know you have lurkers. So excuse me, writing will keep being slow and art will keep being on complete hiatus until I can find a day where I find the will to create again.

#little talks about stuff #this weekend is going to be full #means saturday I go to the hospital #sunday I am invited to a birthday party #and even though I have days off work right now #it is my first time off that I can use just for myself since last December #so #who can blame me for wanting to use it to mainly relax

Saturday Six (Stuff)

There's white bullshite (aka snow) falling, and we hates it.(¬д¬。)

My cat lady customer was very sweet, and paid full price for a mix up that happened years ago, but took her forever to get back to me about getting it done, so eff yeah! o((*^▽^*))o

Mr Boots kitty is having a hard time with the new pine pellet cat box, so we have to compromise and hide it in the old covered box, and see how that works. (^・ω・^ )

Idk if I'm happy or sad that I'm not going to be decorate for Xmas.（’-’*)

My Dude (@super-ultra-mega-kami-guru-blog) and I have concluded that we can be bumbling idiots. Lol... Like we're both smart, but damn are we forgetful and, just plain dumb sometimes. It's like we're related or something lol. ＼(^▽^＠)ノ

It's seasonal depression time, which means I'm back on watching comfort shows/movies, and barely any new stuff. But I have a ton on my list. Ugh.ヾ(*´ー`)ノ

#Saturday Six #December 2 2023 #Personal #About me #Please do not rebloggle #Carey rambles about life and stuff and things and work #The dude and I have been working on bags and we messed up putting in a needle on one of the sewing machines because I'm an idiot first lol #And we forgot where we put the snow shovel - BTW it's at my parent's not in storage ugh #Mr Boots needs privacy to poop - as we all doo doo lol #So yeah he's been pottying out in the living room which makes me upset too #So we're gonna try this thing out #I need my buddy Mr Boots back and not mad with me for being mad with him lol #ok enough rambling #Thank you all for reading my nonsensical rambles whenever I post them #I appreciate y'all so much #Have a great day or night wherever you are #HUGSSS from mom or just a friend whatever you need right now - because I need them tooooo! ٩(๑•◡-๑)۶ⒽⓤⒼ❤#٩(๑•◡-๑)۶ⒽⓤⒼ❤#💜💙💚💛❤️💗💕💖#now back to your regularly scheduled programming

the last book grandma ever read was agatha christie's "murder on the orient express," which was also the first book my mother remembers getting from her as a gift and not a hand-me-down from her siblings.

one of her favorite 'isms' was 'all things in moderation,' but she also had a plaque in the kitchen when my aunts were growing up that read "you have to kiss a lot of horny toads before you find a prince" and another tchotchke that featured a cherub swinging on a length of twine that said "when you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and HANG ON." like every nonna on earth before her, she ushered us to dinner with a "mangia" - which was also what it said on her favorite apron.

the last picture taken of her was her first picture with her great-granddaughter ellie, who's two months old and named after her. it was the first and only time they met.

#talked to mom for the first time since #i guess she was going to get the mail (she was ALWAYS going to get the mail even when there was no mail. bc dementia)#and everyone always figured that was her best way to get a little exercise #but she fell on the sidewalk. broke an arm and had a lot of injuries to her face . and probably chest? i dont know #but she just. it happened on tuesday and forty-eight hours later she was dead #and this is the first time i realized how bad pappy's dementia is because apparently. he keeps forgetting it happened #and assumes she's coming back to the house. calling hours and wake are monday funeral's tuesday #and my aunt still wants to celebrate pappy's birthday (wednesday) and a couple other birthdays on saturday #because she figures we'll all need a celebration #but i have no idea how we're gonna do ALL that and not lose our minds/get sick/something #still. we Always celebrate pappy and colleen and emmett's birthdays that week #just like we celebrate the december birthdays the day after christmas. which was grandma's #and we celebrate the july birthdays the week of mine because there's like six birthdays then #so . here we fuckin go i guess

The Season of Advent: A People who Walk in Darkness

During our Second Saturday Conversation December 14, 2024 we spoke about the liturgical season of Advent, the beginning of a new church year. In particular how Advent is a season that acknowledges our non-knowing. We don’t know what’s coming. We see through a glass darkly. The tradition insists that in our acknowledgement that we know only in part we also realize a depth dimension to our lives…
