We just stumbled across this beauty in a shop at the Christmas tree farm a few years ago, and I loved it for being different from the standard wreath. But it took several years to find colored tea lights. They just sit in the wreath’s own cups. Sorry, I wish I had something more useful to offer!

I’m already two days behind in my Advent readings – the season is indeed full, and I need to be realistic.

I love your title “Staring down the Season” – it makes me think that as we stare it down, the eyes looking back at us are Jesus’. A sweet, precious look.
