Christmas Candles, Lanterns and Lights to Make Your House Twinkle
Christmas, above any other time in the year, is the time we love to banish the dark days and chilly nights with twinkly lights, Christmas Candles and gorgeous lanterns.

Or maybe it had pockets and there was a small chocolate or tiny toy on each day? Often re-using the same one each year.
