Angelabra

Did you ever have one of these?  My Mother always had one at Christmastime when I was a child.  She called it an Angelabra.  I'm not sure if that's really what it's called....but that's what we called ours.  On one of the first Christmases after I left home I bought one for myself and I've lit it every Christmas since.  I love the swirling angles and the soft ringing of the bells (sometimes not so soft!).  In Europe people celebrate a long winter season of religious and secular holidays....often continuing until Epiphany which is celebrated January 6th according to some calendars.  I figure I have at least until then to enjoy the angel glow....
