1. I guess it would depend.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Which would fit in best with your overall decor? Is it a taper or pillar-type "candle"? What's around it? Do you have an overall coordinated color scheme or a happy hodgepodge of colors?

You could just tie an appropriately colored piece of ribbon around the middle of it with a sprig of something seasonal. Dying seems such a permanent solution and you might not like it anymore in 6 months or so.

I'm moving soon into an apartment building that is fairly old and the manager says they discourage candles because of fire hazard, so I'm thinking of getting a couple of those LED kind, too.
