 12.08.20 - Candle unboxing - Mythologie Candles.

Kevin is unboxing the Narnia Collection - Always Winter, Never Christmas - from Mythologie Candles.  This is their winter collection of 6 candles.

This is the last unboxing video for a while.  Our goal was to do several videos to promote various local and small businesses in time for the Christmas giving season.

With COVID still having such an overall, negative impact on many peoples' livelihoods, we believe it more important than ever to let people know these businesses exist and we hope you will support them.

Their website is mythologiecandles.com and a link is in the video description on YouTube.
