My German candle carousel

I've wanted a German candle carousel ever since I was a child and saw one at my aunt's house. It was so neat watching the little people turn as the candle heat turned the fan. Andy bought me one for Christmas a few years ago at Chicago's Christkindlmarket. Because it is fragile, the kids haven't seen it displayed too often. So today when I took it out and set it up in anticipation of our Christmas dinner, they were mesmerized by it. I must have lit it at least four times today to show them (and their friends) how it works.
