It’s scary how fast time goes when you get older, it seems like last month was the beginning of 2025. Yikes.
I’m so disappointed. I can’t find my Advent wreath. I have to wait until tomorrow morning to buy another one..at which time I will find my old wreath. Oh, well. I’ll light one candle tonight anyway, go to the Catholic store Monday morning and then solve the issue

You fall under Section 7 article B4~c798r32.
Being the first day of Advent you are excused from being ostracized. No worries!
A Fruit Cake wreath with four candles was the customary penalty for infractions like yours but with V-2 things of loosened up.

I found my Advent wreath! It was after 10PM Sunday. I checked on the chickens in the garage to ensure that they had fresh water, found one last container of Christmas stuff. I opened it and there it was! I set it up on the recently decluttered dining room table with new candles and right around midnight I looked up the Creighton University Advent website. I lit one candle and prayed the First Sunday of Advent prayers before hitting the sack
