This is the extent of Advent at our house this year. These are also my new Advent candles purchased in Halifax well after the first candle should have been lit. These candles also look unfortunately similar to a detonator pack when viewed by an x-ray scanner inside one's carry-on baggage. Hence, my hold-up at security. I am the first terrorist on Canadian soil to be caught while wearing a baby in a sling.

Advent

I didn't even buy candles because TWO years after moving into this house, our Advent wreath has yet to be unearthed from the pile of still un-opened moving boxes.
I have a similar airport security story - I was travelling to Halifax with a couple dozen small, round, glass ornaments in my carry-on, which managed to come out of their packaging before I got to security. I was quickly pulled aside for extra screening - while I was a full 7 months pregnant. Perhaps they thought I had some extra dangerous stuff shoved under my sweater...
Well the good news is that you'll have candles already for next year!
