Because the holidays are magical… in that you somehow survive them every year.
This candle is the scent of that annual family reunion where you see that uncle—just long enough to remember why you love him, and exactly long enough to remember why once a year is plenty. Bourbon and smoke swagger in first, smelling like a man who still thinks his high school glory days were “just a few years ago.” Tobacco smoke and leather follow with big “I’ve got opinions no one asked for” energy, while Christmas Hearth tries (and fails) to soften the edges like your aunt hissing, “Just let him talk, it’s easier.”
It’s warm. It’s familiar. It’s slightly unhinged.
In short: it’s family.
Light it when:
-
You’re mentally preparing for the annual holiday personality parade.
-
You want “festive,” but with a hint of emotional armor.
-
You need a reminder that boundaries are a gift unto themselves.
In the Order of Wicksbane, not all spirits are merry—but they do burn beautifully.
Breathe deep.
Sip something stronger.
And may the Bitter Gentlemen finally get some rest.
