During the Yule holidays you see a lot of home decorators using pillar candles as part of their motif. I know that I personally use candles as part of my Yule decorations but am one of those that do not light them.

While candles are a lovely way in which to decorate and use as a warming touch to your seasonal decorations they are dangerous when left unattended. There are so many times that people light candles and then leave them for one reason or the other. The bottom line is that fires may indeed be started this way. An animal might knock into them toppling the candle to the ground.

Using candles is a great idea but use common sense when using. Never leave a candle unattended. No matter if you are just popping out for a moment. It only takes a moment for an accident to happen!
