What Yankee candle smell connotes holiday to you?

Ah yes. Typical trashy classicism on DCUM.

Obviously meant classism, but got auto-corrected.

AND PEOPLE BUY THEM.

AND YOU POST ABOUT THEM.

YOU FAIL. Tremendous, horrible, fail. You probably have cat litter scented candles as well. You are an ass hat.

You need to step away from the internet at 2 a.m.

Same here. If you want real holiday smells, cook! Or throw cider and some mulling spices on the stove.

Yeah, totally. Every time you want your house to smell festive, go buy a jug of cider and mulling spices. Even if you don't feel like having mulled cider. That is way more reasonable than just lighting a candle.

There's no clean-up on a jar candle. I don't have to dispose of the unused cider. I am not wasting food.

The environmental cost and petroleum used to create your jar candle *far* exceeds a pot of cider and some spices.

There is a tree crying out to you to be hugged, pp.

Hope you don't burn that toxic shit around kids. Do you smoke unapologetically in your house too?

Researchers have shown some scented candles produce smoke laced with almost as many toxins as those produced by cigarettes.
Since they are often lit in poorly ventilated rooms, such as bathrooms, or during the evening when windows are likely to be closed, the release of chemicals can cause indoor pollution that is potent enough to raise the risk of asthma, eczema and skin complaints.
When U.S. researchers burnt a range of candles in a laboratory for a study published two years ago, the chemicals released in harmful amounts included human carcinogens and chemicals known to cause asthma attacks, such as toluene and benzene.
Dr Amid Hamidi of South Carolina University, who led the study, showed that paraffin-based candles produced "clear sharp peaks" for many chemicals, mainly because they do not reach high enough temperatures when being burned to destroy the hazardous molecules they emit.
Research by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has shown that cored candles release the dirtiest soot - sometimes containing particles of zinc, tin, lead and the metal cadmium. (ANI)

But I don't have to clean it up, dumbass.

No. I just stand outside the entrance at Target and blow it at your kids when you walk in.

I live in a smaller, older house compared to most people on DCUM. (It's something that most DCUMers would refer to as a "shitshack" ready for tear-down.) I drive a car from 1998. I buy my clothes at thrift shops. I shop at farmer's markets as much as possible. The environmental cost of my Yankee candle is more than made up for by my lifestyle.

Wouldn't expect any less from a Yankee Candle consumer.

Scented candles give me migraines with nausea.

Seriously, clean your house and if you must scent it cut some grab some dried lavender or if you insist on vanilla, bake some freaking cookies.

Why do you assume people use scented candles to cover up bad smells? Why do you assume people that like scented candles need to clean their house? I'll bet you that my house is cleaner than yours, but I still like to use Yankee candles. I clean my house every day and it never smells bad, but I still like to light a candle sometimes. Especially on the weekends.

Btw, you sound like a stuck up bitch and so you'd never have to worry about getting an asthma attack at my house bc I'd never let you in in the first place. You know what else is an asthma trigger? Dust and mold. Maybe you need to clean your house and do some dusting.

My Harvest Yankee candle and scented oil plug are dueling for attention right now.
