A fat candle with wax running down it, a flame on top and holly round the base. It is a good first page of the season for a small child: the shape is simple, the flame is an excuse for yellow and orange, and the holly gives one small area to be careful with. It also prints well as a place card for a table. Round to the start again with the christmas owl.
