Being Christian, but not particularly Catholic, I had managed to not run into the concept of an Advent wreath before daisy_knotwise mentioned it to me earlier today as something she'd like to do. This apparently includes four candles. "Candles?" I said apprehensively. "Yes, four, one for each week of Advent. You know what Advent is, right?" "I spent two years in an Episcopalian junior high school. I couldn't possibly not know about it." "Ok. So I want an Advent wreath." "I'm good with that, but can we get LED candles, because we've got two small children, one of whom could find a way to set the house on fire?" "Three of the candles are purple. One is pink." "Oh." A long Google search later, I have come up completely empty on LED taper candles in purple and pink. I'm thinking there's a market there that someone's missing. Apparently, if we were Episcopalian, all four candles could be white. I don't think Gretchen is planning to convert.
