We do, we also sing a traditional Advent carol as we light each candle. This year we are drinking a different traditional german beer every evening.

No, don’t even know what it is.

I used to, but then I found out you can just buy better chocolate for cheaper and not have to tear a up calendar to get to it.

We didn't quite go to those lengths but every dinner we'd light however many lights for the week, then every Sunday we'd dim the lights and my father would read the description for the latest candle to be lit that week. I've been 'out' of religion since childhood but my wife and I started going recently and with our baby we plan on doing something similar to my families as he gets older. One thing I noticed that's either changed over the years or is different for Methodists (or at least our current church) vs. Catholics is no pink candle. I can't remember the significance but I noticed there was no pink candle for some reason.

Either way I always thought it was a good reminder of what we were celebrating during the holiday's, even if us kids just wanted presents it did give us a small bit of religious substance every week.

Tonight we lit the menorah and decorated the tree. The kids got gelt and chocolate from their advent calendars.

When I was a kid we had an advent wreath we would light each night at dinner.

Be kind English is my 2nd language. My primary language is Dave it's a unique evolution of English.

Me either. So I went and googled it.

And my cousin's wife just posted a pic of the wreath/candle thing on Instagram, so I at least know someone that does celebrate it.

I went to church and taught a Sunday school lesson about it. We lit a candle on a wreath, colored an advent wreath and started an advent calendar.
At home with my own kids I did nothing. Strange now that I think about.
