STOP: CANDLETIME! (A Giveaway!)

One of my favorite mom blogs in the whole wide world is Ask Moxie, written by Magda Pecsenye.  Magda has the ability to pinpoint and articulate life's disappointments and frustrations, simultaneously acknowledging their magnitude and finding a way to make the best of them, all with a certain kind of non-cheesy pluck.  Nowhere is this ability better exemplified than with Magda's invented November holiday, Candletime.

Magda created Candletime as a way to make November meaningful in and of itself, not as the sort of "Christmas Phase I" that the retail industry likes to make it.  The Candletime celebration, as originally explained here on Ask Moxie, consists of dimming the lights and lighting candles (real or the electric kind) and taking a quiet moment to spend some time with loved ones over your beverage of choice before dinner.  On her new Babble blog last week, Magda credited Candletime as the only thing that got her through the disappointment of the extended hours of darkness when she was a full-time working single mom living in New York City.

There is power in candles.

To help you celebrate Candletime (or Christmas or the holiday season or whatever), I am giving away not one, not two, but three separate Yankee Candle prize packages!

Here they are:

 Packaged A includes three 3.7-oz candles in a cute box: Cherries on Snow, Christmas Rose, and Mountain Berry.

Package B is a cylindrical candle from Yankee's "Favorite Things" collection, an homage to The Sound of Music.  This one is Warm Woolen Mittens, which smells kind of like a really good laundry detergent.  Since it's the smallest package, candle-wise, I'm throwing in a $10 off Yankee Candle coupon and the adorable Yankee Candle flash drive. 

Package C is a large candle in the Balsam & Cedar scent, which is the scent that my husband burns in our home year-round.  If anything smells like Christmas, it's this candle.  And it's pictured here next to the adorable gift box it comes in.  

Here's how I'm going to work this.  You have until Friday, November 18 at 11:59 p.m. CST to enter.  To enter, leave a comment with an answer to this question:

What are you 3 favorite scents?  

On Saturday, November 19, I will have random.org determine a separate number for the winner of each prize package, and the people who left those numbered comments will be the winners.  I will report the winners on this blog shortly thereafter and ask the winners to email me their mailing addresses.  

Good luck, and Happy Candletime!
