About time!

I... have an advent wreath.

Okay, it's more like an "advent circle of candles with no greenry." But I like not burning down my building, so no greenery is fine with me.

A friend and I went to AC Moore's tonight and they had, for $0.99 apiece, these adorable little tealight holders. I got three blue and a red. They had purple, and I considered it, but they really didn't look good with the red (that I call rose). They're probably actually meant for those larger votive candles, but they work with the tea lights as well. They are narrow at the bottom, and open out, and the high edge is much taller (nearly twice) as the low edge. It's hard to describe, but think maybe that they look like calla lilies. So I have them in a circle with the high ends toward each other and two blues and the rose lit. I keep checking to make sure they dont' get too hot ('cause they're meant to be candle holders, but at $0.99, you might as well double check), and they seem to be doing really well. When I find my camera (it's hiding in my unpacked bag from last time I was home), I'll put up pictures.
