My childhood wasn't one of plenty nor privilege, but we did have a few awesome little figures and evergreen trees made of wax. Oh No! We never burnt them! That would mean we wouldn't have them next year and they held a place of honor on the TV's top amongst the lush pine boughs my mother would bring in from the yard.
After the holidays we would carefully wrap the precious little pieces of paraffin in tissues again and I would tuck them into the bog cardboard box once again. Dad would carry it upstairs to be put in the closet until the following year and we would move on to Valentines and Easter but...
I still put out the little paraffin candles in precious little shapes of
snowmen, Santa's and trees.
They mean Christmas to me.... you see.

These are very cute, and doubly precious to you since they hold fond memories.
These are lovely treasures! I can see why they are so meaningful to you! Blessings to you always.
