The age old family tradition!

My family has a silly tradition. Every Christmas, we go to church for the Christmas service. And it seems like every church we go to has a candlelight song where the congregation sings "Silent Night" with the church lights off and everyone holding candles. When I was very young, the aunts taught a young impressionable ddrfr33k that you could bend the candle if you held it in your hands during the sermon.

Suffice to say, this tradition lives on. The younger generation has taken up the mantle of bending the candle. And the candles this year?

We had room to work! I had plenty of space to add lots of bends and zigzags to my candle.

My cousin, on the other hand, he did what I've always wanted to do with my candles. It looks like a Christmas tree!
