Faux Fire

I hosted book club this month....I do it yearly, and it seems to come up quickly. I decided rather than a real fire and all the smoke and soot and mess, these candles would give the "illusion" of fire...........woo-hoo...........it actually was warm after 3 hours of burning....a real fire doesn't even kick out much heat. Oh, i want a gas log, but until that happens.....this is my alternative.
