Polishing day.

My job is polishing silver and brass for Christmas. Not much brass though. Not much silver either but more than enough for me to polish. This brass candle holder comes on the table every Chistmas. I got it from my father. He told me it was old when he was young. It might be very old, probably from my great grand parents time or even from my great great grandparents ? The candle holder is thus more than a brass candle holder to me.
