The Waxing Crescent PNW will be premiering a new holiday scent at 33rd Annual Homemade for the Holidays! Make sure to check it out!

The "Real Life" Christmas Morning Candle
Christmas Morning: This candle is an experience, not just a scent. It's the moment when the kids have destroyed the living room, but the coffee is finally brewed. We blended the spicy warmth of cinnamon and clove (for that cozy fireplace feeling) with a blast of zesty orange (because someone spilled the juice) and the bracing scent of fresh fir (the real tree is shedding needles again).

Don't worry, we filtered out the notes of burnt coffee, 4 a.m. wake-up calls and stale holiday cookies. Light this up, ignore the wrapping paper explosion, and enjoy the pure, chaotic, wonderful smell of the holidays.
