Any tasks that involved secrecy and sneaking around were my son’s favorites! In the week leading up to Christmas, we put candy canes in the […]
Very Special Meaning
I thought I would let you know about sharing this Tradition at my church today. I got applause at the end! They liked hearing about how I brought Roger the Scrooge into the process. They also liked hearing about his SSSS of sending cash to his ex-wives. I did make the point that even very […]
CandleTime in Florida
This year, I gave the CandleTime books, along with many helpful tools, to two of my administrators. I wanted them to have the opportunity to experience this tradition with their family.

Long Distance with Zoom
If there is one thing we have learned recently — connecting with those we love does not have to be in person! This tradition works well with a video call to those you want to share with!
Friends
There are times in our lives when our friends are our family. CandleTime is a great way to deepen those connections and build lifelong friendships.
Older Adults
Older adults love the sense of purpose and connection the tradition fosters with grandchildren, family members and friends.

Families with Older
Kids and Teens
The magic of CandleTime can inspire even the most skeptical of teens. As families grow with the tradition the activities encourage kindness, giving and provide precious memories.
