> I recall those days when we had no electric lights, but burned candles in >the special holders which were clipped to the branches in such a way that >they would not tend to set the tree on fire. I have a handful of those candle holders of my grandmother's. A real treasure to me. Some are painted gold and some silver. They have a clay ball on one end of the wire which is bent into a hook then back up to the candle holder. Very clever and quite safe when care is used. My sister-in-law was going to through them in the garbage. We had quite a serious fight. When my mother died, my sister-in-law, wanted to sell every thing my mother and grandparents owned. She had no sentimental attachment to that stuff but could sure see the dollar signs. I managed to save most of the things that really held sentimental value to me. And I got all the garbage, too.
