Nothing says "It's the Holidays!" like walking into a warm house filled with the rich scents of cinnamon, vanilla and toasty baked goodness.

Of course, nothing says "Too fat to wear my party dress" like jamming dozens of sugar cookies in your mouth. Which I'm sure you'll agree is the only satisfying way to eat them.

So how do you get that festive feeling without the dangerous calories? Candles, my friend. Food scented candles.

From PIer 1 to your local Illuminations Store, you can find a staggering array of flaming gingerbread, apple pie and french vanilla wax delights.

But why look any further than the traditional -- yet oh-so-innovative -- Yankee Candle "passion for fragrance"?

With foodie flavors like Home for the Holidays, Home Sweet Home and Holiday Home Sweet Home from which to choose, your home can be both festive and distinctive. They even have one called Christmas Cookie, for a completely safe but utterly satisfying holiday olfactory experience.

Who can resist? Bet you can't just burn one!
