well, not around here...it's always the sunday between 27th november & 3rd december when the first candle is on fire and another one gets lit each sunday to come, so there can be four of them before xmas eve and the 2 days of xmas....might be different in the UK


talking about being early...the supermarkets start celebrating xmas already in september :wink:

@Linflas
there's that tradition of celebrating it by lighting candles ontop of a wreath, starting on the fourth sunday before xmas, with one to be lit each sunday. Was kinda a special thing as i was a kid

I was thinking in terms of an advent calendar that starts on December 1st...

Wow. Maybe my church is behind... Then again, nobody has said anything about Christmas and it's still November.
