No reason not to do both.

But make sure you don"t curse unti the candle is lit.....

I have a joke candle that looks like a regular candle, white, tapered,
very nice. Only problem is you can't KEEP it lit! 5 seconds after you
take away the flame that got it burning....it goes out by itself.....(c;]

The wax cannot sustain its own ignition. It will burn about 5 seconds
before the heat available goes below the flashpoint of that wax.

It really is funny to watch them light it.....

That's like the opposite of those birthday cake candles that won't blow
out...only did that to one of our kids and it was so sad we decided never
to use them again...


When I was a kid, I put a huge, hairy, fake spider under my mom's dinner
napkin on April 1st. She was NOT happy with me.

See...she must be reltated to my Mom..you'd be wearing the cake too...
