I believe that placing candles in the window is a Christian symbol. By doing this, they would show that they are a Christian family welcoming those who wish to dine or need a place to stay during the cold holidays.

When people put candles in their window it usually means that they are using advent candles. They light one every week on Sunday in waiting for Christ Jesus to come. There are the candles of Peace, Joy, Hope and Love. The candle of Peace because God sent is one and only Son to bring peace to the earth. Joy because of the great joy and happiness Jesus brought. Hope because now we have hope because Jesus can save us from our sins. Love because God sending His Son to this horrible world takes a lot of love! and God Loves more than you can imagine! But the people could just be putting the candles in their window because it looks nice.
Merry CHRISTmas
Jesus is the Reason for the Season!
