If so, be aware of safety issues.
Candles are a cherished part of many holiday traditions.
They're central to some holiday religious observances, and they add to the festive warmth of the season. But the American Lung Association says they can also create health risks. Some varieties of candles, especially the scented and slow-burning types, may release dangerous chemicals into the air. Often these candles use wicks that contain lead. As the candles burn, lead particles and soot are released into the air.
