Santa Baby for Yankee Candle® Fans
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, Storm Watch® and Beach Walk™ jars too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of the other candles that I haven't lit
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd trim all my candle wicks
Boo doo bee doo
Santa honey, I wanna Tart® and really that's
Just a start
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do want, a jaunt
To the big Yankee® store
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with Car Jars®, and gift cards
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and light my Christmas Tree
‘Cause that’s a treat I save just for me
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, Fresh “Ming”
Oops I mean "Mint"
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight.

Top 3 Tips for Candle Safety on Halloween
1. Never leave a burning candle unattended! Extinguish all jack-o-lanterns or other spooky candles before leaving your house or going to bed for the evening.
2. Make sure candle holders don’t tip over! Whether using pumpkins, gourds, or luminary bags, make sure the bottom of the holder is heavy enough to withstand the howling winds and bone-chilling breezes.
3. Keep away from flammable objects! Pretty landscape décor such as cornstalks and mums can ignite easily so keep a safe distance within your display. Also, illuminate a wide path for trick-or-treaters, remembering that they often wear capes, wigs, and other flowing flammable costumes.

How Do I Smell My Yankee Candle? Let Me Count The Ways!
More often than not, when choosing a candle to buy you’re smelling it unlit in the store. What’s the best way to smell a cold candle? Some say you should smell the inside of a domed Yankee Candle lid in order to get the best idea of how it will smell while burning. While that method has a proven track record, our candlemakers have worked tirelessly on making sure that the candle wax itself offers a strong waft of fragrance, even cold. And, members of our fragrance committee often open the candle slightly to take in the bloom of scent from both the lid and the wax in order to fully appreciate the aroma. We’ve even known some candle connoisseurs to put a Tart® in one scent into a jar lid of another to get an idea of how they’d smell if combined!
It really is all a matter of preference and the number of different techniques makes me think that (to paraphrase a well-known song) there must be fifty ways to smell your candle:
You can smell from the lid, Syd
Sniff from the jar, Star
There's no right way, Kay
Just set your scent free
Light up the wax, Max
Let the scent fill your space, Grace
Just follow your nose, Rose
And set your scent free!

Can Your Favorite Yankee Candle Change Your Appearance?
In a similar study by the same foundation, certain citrus scents were found to leave the impression that the person wearing the aroma was up to 6 years younger! I think I've found another reason to surround myself with my new favorite fragrance, Pink Sands™: a "mix of bright citrus, sweet florals and spicy vanilla".

New Limited Edition Beach Collection by Yankee Candle
The sun, the sand, cute flip-flops, salt water taffy, and searching each and every gift shop for the perfect t-shirt to remember your day at the shore … bring back memories? As a little girl I remember visiting my aunt and uncle’s motel in Beach Haven NJ, collecting sea shells, and searching for a souvenir my parents would agree to buy for me. Once we moved to Maine, the frigid waters of the North Atlantic didn’t deter us as my sisters and I vowed that the waves were fun once your legs went numb! And, of course, some of my favorite days were spent at Rocky Point Amusement Park on the Rhode Island Coast where the salt air mixed with the heady scent of clam cakes and chowder coming from the Shore Dinner Hall. While reminiscing with friends recently, it seems that everyone has vivid memories like these. Whether they visited the endless summers of Florida, the wild beauty of the Pacific coast, or a charming lake shore town like Lake George, there’s something about being by the water that makes for a carefree, casual, and fun day to remember. These were the memories that inspired four new Limited Edition beach scents by Yankee Candle: Beach Sun™, Beach Blue™, Beach Escape™, and Beach Garden™. Light one of these candles, close your eyes, and indulge in a day at the shore you won’t soon forget!
