Traditional Advent Candle

To try and show that we do traditional, we have an advent Candle. We’re actually not very good with them; we either don’t light it for days (due to work) and get days behind, or we forget we have lit it and it burns days ahead of what it should be showing.

As you can see, so far (and it’s only been a week) we’ve not yet done either this year.

I think the gin advent calendar is better. You don’t forget about it! Ha!

[Carole Sandford]

I think we have even let one burn right through in one sitting! This one came from Lincoln Cathedral.

I forget to light mine sometimes

[Beryl Lloyd]

I'm not very good with these either !!!!

[JackieR]

I burnt mine down in a day one year!!! Girls werd not impressed. Needed a gin calendar back then too like @louannwarren said!!

[Milanie]

Nicely composed though

[Babs]

Haha had to laugh at Lou Ann's comment @louannwarren

[Denise Wood]

Bet you don't forget your gin advent calendar though :)

[Phil Sandford]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond We've done that also; they need to invent one that self extinguishes after the requisite time

I posted one the other day and quite a few people had never heard of them so I am pleased to see kindred spirits. In all senses of the words from your comment.

I love your capture of the pretty flamed. But I'm with @louannwarren I like the gin advent calender better.
