This is a Christingle from the Children's' Christmas Eve service at St Martins Church, Bowness-on-Windermere in the Lake District in England.
Every year my family goes to England to spend Christmas with my English grandparents.  Going back to England reminds me that I am English and that my parents are originally English or Scottish.  When I was young, it was fun to go to the Christingle service and make a Christingle, light the candle and sing Away in a Manger.  Now I help my younger cousins with theirs.  We all go as a family including Grandfer who is 86.  After the service we can eat the Christingles.
