We did something today as a family that we have never done before ,we made candles. It was so much fun . Jack loved it.

We did this in the alt stadt of Baden about 10 mins drive from us , that is not counting the 15 mins we drove around trying to park the car. Christmas is such a celebration here from the end of November there is heaps of activities to get you into the festive season, which I absolutely loving. To make a candle you start with just a wick what ever length you want and then you head to the vats of hot bees wax and begin dipping.

"Layer upon layer upon layer" as Sara would say. In between layering you have to go outside in the cold and let the candle cool.

You can make them as long, as wavy ,as round or any way you like.
We came home with 3 beautiful hand made bees wax candles and I must say 2 very proud boys.
To finish off a great day we had Fondue. I was thinking maybe this would be a could alternative for Christmas lunch.
