Battery operated candles are holiday tradition

Battery operated candles last longer than non-battery candles. The air is getting cooler and thinner, and as you look around the neighborhood you notice that battery candles are beginning to dot more and more windows in more and more houses up and down each street. They’re placed in the sills before even the Christmas trees are dragged home and through each door.

Often they’re decorated with floppy burgundy velvet bows or holly branches and berries, but those battery candles shine through the nights leading from Thanksgiving dinner to Christmas morning… and sometimes beyond.

Complimenting battery candles in the home are things like Colonial at Home candles, whose gently flickering light plays off the steady beam of the light in the windows. Together, they create the aura of the holiday season.

From indoors, each room is filled with a gentle twinkling, and some families add to that by placing their battery candles in a wall candle sconce for an even more festive atmosphere.

Yet battery candles have their greatest effect when looking from the outside in. While Colonial at Home candles or a wall candle sconce warm the family indoors, battery candles seem almost as though they’re striving to warm the outside.

They appear almost as though their gentle twinkling will slowly wear away the glittering carpet of snow, that they will see the winter through to spring when the green gleams through the white yet again.

And even if they do not, the battery candles will gleam on. Their candlestick shape will stand fast in the sills of nearly every window and let all around them know that the holidays are here.

Whether Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other winter holiday, battery candles last night after night, year after year as a symbol of togetherness and the warmth of the holiday spirit.
