Quick and easy Advent candles

I have a tall Advent candle thing (yes, that's it's fancy design name!) in the shape of a three-dimensional star that is part of the center piece in the dining room, but it's a little tall for the kitchen table. Plus, we homeschool at the kitchen table and I wanted something low and easy to move.

Voilà!

Tray, candles I had in the candle drawer, and a bunch on ornaments from our childhood and Christmases past. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. Happy Advent!

(Incidentally, as a French major, it bugs me when people pronounce voilà incorrectly. There's a V at the front of the word, and it makes a V sound! ::vwa-la, with an extra emphasis on the la:: What's your pronunciation pet peeve?)

Ooohh great question today! I can't stand when my mother, and others, say WAR-sh for Wash. There is not an R in wash! *cringe*

Lovely advent center piece. You crafty girl!

I actually had a friend write "walla!" in an email to me. Took me a bit to realize she meant "voila!". :0)

I don't really like when people say heighth--with a th on the end like depth. I don't think there is an h on the end of height, right??

Great advent idea.

Yellow pronounced, yellar. Got into a k-garden fight w/ another 6 yr old over this many years ago. I ended up with a streak of yellow paint across my face ! Then his mother drove him to my house to say sorry after school. But I'd rather of heard him say "yellow" ;)

Mine's not a pronunciation one, but when people misspell words online. The very worst is someone who always writes "dido" for "ditto." Drives me crazy!
