Nope, not at all - it can actually be either but it's generally a Christmas tradition from everything I could find about it the past few years - here's a little history if you'd like :) (scroll down it's highlighted in purple)

The bayberry candle is 3/4 gone already... seems to be right on target

The 1 sound I absolutely dread especially during the holidays, is a siren (due to a couple experiences I endured when I was a volunteer fire fighter back home)... they've been all around tonight already...

I am sick of cookies - tonight put out some steak for me and you'll get better presents!

Well, this isn't totally true for me, I AM a nice person til pushed

I haven't done this in quite some time The bayberry candle tradition if you light a bayberry candle at the first star you see and it burns through the night and goes out on its own it's supposed to be good luck... Just try not to fall asleep or at least put the candle in the sink better be safe than sorry

Hey by the way Merry Christmas to those on the other side of the world
