I like the candles in the windows! When I visited Pennsylvania over Spring Break a few years ago, many people had them. I asked why they were lit during the Spring (I had only seen it done at Christmastime), and I learned that it is common in areas with a Colonial background, and that the candles are used as a sign of welcome. Ever since, I always appreciate when I see candles in windows... it seems like such a nice message to send to passersby.
