We had a candle-powered Christmas table decoration when I was a kid. It had four trumpeting angels who spun round and rang chimes.

We had that too. I loved that thing.

I've seen those! They are pretty!

I've seen those! Those are wonderful. I wonder if they are still made?

That´s lovely, Sue. But what´s even more lovely is that christinA is getting her wish. That makes me happy.

It makes me very happy too!

We have one of those. I always thought they were called a Glockenspiel.

A Glockenspiel is a musical instrument! I was curious and looked it up.

I'm not sure how I understand how the blades spin on "candle power", but it sure is cute!

Apparently it's the heat waves from the candles that make it spin. They have GIANT sized ones in Germany.

I did too, but at the German Market and online it calls them Pyramids. Pondhopper also called them that. It's obviously not the German word for them so you are probably right...
