Yuletide Traumas

Yuletide Traumas
Where festive nostalgia meets the ghosts of Christmases you definitely didn’t process.

This collection is for anyone who’s ever felt the sharp emotional whiplash of the holiday season—the forced smiles, the suffocating traditions, the family members who arrive wrapped in tinsel and unresolved issues. In the Order of Wicksbane, we do not bow to “holiday spirit” as marketed by department stores and aggressively cheerful commercials. We honor the truth: the holidays are beautiful, bittersweet, and occasionally unhinged.

Yuletide Traumas captures all of it—the warmth, the ache, the dark humor simmering beneath the mistletoe—as each candle distills emotional honesty into flame. These aren’t scents meant to cover up the chaos; they’re meant to accompany it. To give you a moment of recognition. A breath. A laugh you probably shouldn’t let out at the dinner table.

Light these when:

  • You’re ready to feel something real beneath the wrapping paper.

  • You want nostalgia without the sugar coating.

  • You’re done pretending that “joy” is the only acceptable December emotion.

This is the season as it truly is—messy, magical, sharp around the edges, and entirely human.

Welcome to Yuletide Traumas.
May your holidays be honest, and your flames burn true.
