I rang in the New Year with the following two candles:

A sparkly Santa-head Candle |
Both burned fairly quickly, and the Santa candle got sparkles all over my hands, and the plate it's sitting on. Two days later I decided to burn seven, yes you read that right, seven candles all at once - mostly because they all fit on the plate together. Here they are:

Starting at the 6 o'clock position and moving clockwise, the candles are as follows: A purple flower candle in a tin cup, a white flower candle in a tin cup, a white ball candle with snowflakes set in blue design, a red ball candle with poinsettias set in white design, and in the center and at 3 o'clock - identical sparkly snowball shaped ball candles.
Needless to say, the heat from all those candles set so closely together caused them to burn down a lot faster than they would have had they been sitting alone. You can see evidence of this in the snowball candle sitting at 3 o'clock, it's melting down all over the plate it's sitting on.
