It is important to always burn votive candles in glass votive candle holders because this ensures optimum burn time and safety.  Votive candles burn into a pool of wax, which fuels the flame for hours.  If votive candles are not burned in glass votive candle holders, the wax will run out everywhere, and the candle will only burn for a few hours.  Also, it is important that you only burn candles in glass holders that are specifically made for candle burning.  Glass votive candle holders come in a variety of shapes, styles, and colors.  Glass votive candle holders can add a nice touch to your decor, while making your candles burn longer and keeping your home safe.

We are in the heart of the holiday season and are using candles more frequently than during other times of the year, which greatly increases the chance of accidental fires.  It is extremely important that we are cautious and attentive when burning candles at all times.  According to the National Candle Association, more than 15,000 residential fires are caused each year by the improper use of candles.  The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission conducted a study and found that 85 percent of candle fires could be avoided if consumers followed these basic safety rules:

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

• Never burn a candle on or near anything that might catch fire.

• Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.

Candles are part of what makes the holidays feel like the holidays, but please remember to follow these rules and be safe!
