Ok, ladies. Tough question. Who was (or is) your favorite American Girl? I was always a Felicity fan (she was so gosh darn spunky!) but I would have to say Molly was a close second (for some morbid reason, I liked reading about WWII).
BUT after a careful examination today, I may have a new favorite second (no one will ever be able to replace Felicity in my heart), and that is Kirsten. Why the sudden change of heart, you may wonder (along with the question, what the heck does this have to do with candles?)
Well, my friends, Kirsten is Swedish, which probably doesn't mean anything to you, but what it should mean is that she celebrates St. Lucia's Day, which means she wears a wreath of CANDLES on her head. Yeah, that's right. A wreath of candles. And she manages to not light her hair on fire. You go girl.
Apparently, the flames of the candles are supposed to represent the fire that did not kill St. Lucia (they tried to burn her alive because she refused to marry a man. oy vey.) but nowadays, most use battery-powered candles because girls who were not Kirsten would let their hair catch on fire, which is lame with a capital L. Man up, ladies. Take one for the team.
So what's the point of this post? Candles are freakin' sweet and should be used in as many cool ceremonies as possible.
