aunttea: My Grandmother and her sister remember doing this around their Christmas tree as childdren. Their parents brought the tradition from Norway. Singing Christmas hymns was the activity. The candles were real. Grannie Annie always puts her tree up in the middle of the room, so everyone can dance around it. Just like you described Aunt Tea. it’s also a danish tradition - probably comes from germany. in our house we still have real candles on the tree but we don’t “dance” around it. neither does the royal family i’ve been told. and if it’s good enough for them.. :-D
