Can't find Advent candles? WTF?

[dame_grise]

I haven't found any since I moved here, but this year I was determined. I have searched in four stores for Advent candles so far this year. At best I was met with confusion and looked at like I was an alien. There weren't even boxes of individual tapers with colors approximate enough to tolerate

You have colour-coded advent candles? That's fascinating! Is the pink one for the first or the fourth?

*butts in* The pink is the shepherd's candle and is the third one. :D

Yay, I was right!

The 2nd to last? I have to look it up every year.

Nifty!
We only have four identical candles. Originally they had to be red or purple; by now you can get pretty much any candle. I'm especially fond of bee's wax. :)
