    3. A birthday cake candle. I don't do too many for other reasons because I'm afraid my cats will catch themselves on fire. :o

    It gets cold during the night up here in the Great White North during the winter sometimes so I light up one of my. birthday candles to help take the chill off.

    It was years ago, when I constructed a 'haunted trail' for Halloween. It was to scare the little relatives, but my wife invited all her friends. It included spooky sound effects and a fog machine. I even put the family cat in an overhead bird cage hanging from a tree, but he escaped before any guests showed up.
