We've always had candles on our tree - a remnant of my father's German exchange student experience.
Never lit obviously, but it does look amazing.

They lit the candles but only when they were in the room.
Because of the candle thing ditch trees were preferred as they were more sparse, and cheaper : )

There's nobody more German than a Canadian Mennonite.
