Calendar candle

I told Natalie about the Danish tradition of a calendar-candle. The candle has numbers on it, and each day you get to let it burn down to the next number. 

Natalie made our own calendar-candle out of a plain white candle and some sharpies:

Very prettyl

I don't think that Natalie even know about superstition, but for whatever reason she skipped the number 13 - but I don't think anyone noticed... We really enjoyed this tradition  - we had the candle lit during dinner every evening in December.
