What appears in the Christmas candle scene

The central candle stands upright on a round holder, with melted wax running from its upper edge. Its wick supports a large flame that contains several smaller flame shapes. Two sprigs with oval, veined leaves sit on opposite sides of the stand; they are leafy branches rather than evergreen needles. The background is otherwise empty.

Seasonal facts about candlelight

Candles have long been used during winter gatherings because their warm light creates a calm atmosphere during the darkest part of the year. A candle flame forms when heat melts the wax and the wick draws liquid wax upward, where it becomes vapor and burns. Leafy decorations used for festive displays can include many plants, not only needle-bearing evergreens.

Real colors of candles and leafy decorations

  • Candle wax: ivory, white, deep red, forest green, gold, or many other manufactured colors
  • Wick: pale beige before burning and black at its charred tip
  • Flame: blue near the base, with yellow and orange higher up
  • Melted wax: usually the same color as the candle, sometimes appearing slightly translucent
  • Oval leaves: commonly light, medium, or dark green, with paler veins
Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Why does wax run down the side of a candle?
Heat from the flame melts nearby wax. If more wax melts than the wick can use, the liquid may flow over the edge and cool on the side.
Why does a candle flame have several colors?
Different parts of the flame have different temperatures and burning conditions. That makes some areas look blue while others appear yellow or orange.
Are candles safe for children to handle alone?
No. A burning candle has a hot flame and melted wax, so an adult should supervise it and keep it away from anything that can catch fire.
