To help you, we now offer a truly enormous selection of Advent calendars. Folks who grew up with Advent calendars are passing the beloved tradition on to their children and grandchildren.

One or more candles are lit each day during Advent, one the first week, two the second and so on through Christmas Eve. Three of the candles are purple, the color of royalty, and one is pink. The pink candle is first lit during the third week in joyful anticipation of the Nativity. Advent wreaths are rich with symbols. Europeans first lit candles on wreaths during the dark days of Winter, longing for the light filled days of Spring. Now woven into Christian tradition, the circular shape, without beginning or end, symbolizes God. Evergreens symbolize eternal life.
