<li style="text-align: left;">Snowday- I've been using since the first snow fell here. It gets you in the spirit of the winter season!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">'Tis The Season- This is basically Christmas in a jar!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Winter- I'm using this AFTER Christmas comes, a seasonal candle but doesn't shout "CHRISTMAS" like 'Tis the Season does.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Twisted Peppermint- VERY sweet I can only burn it for a few minutes at a time but it fills the room right away!</li>
