Description
This Christmas in heaven candle holder is a wooden memorial for someone who is missed at the table this year. A laser-cut tree engraved with the well-known Christmas in heaven verse stands behind an empty rocking chair, with a recess for a tea light on the oval base. It arrives as a flat-pack sheet and slots together in a few minutes with no glue or tools.
The verse asks you to save a seat for the person who cannot be there, and the little empty chair does exactly that. Light the candle on Christmas Eve or at the family dinner, or keep it on a side table through December. The plain plywood can be left natural, stained or painted, and a name or date can be written on the base. It is a quiet, thoughtful sympathy gift for a friend facing a first Christmas without someone.

How Do You Assemble the Christmas in Heaven Chair?
Press each piece gently out of the sheet and sand any small tabs with the edge of a nail file. Slot the tree into the back of the oval base, then fit the two rocker sides to the chair seat and back and slide the chair into its slot in front of the tree. Place a tea light in the recess. If you want it permanent, add a dab of wood glue at each joint.
Care and Safety
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep the flame clear of the wooden tree. A battery tea light is a safe alternative. Dust with a soft brush and store flat.
