Advent Sundays The custom of using a table wreath to enjoy the approach of Christmas and keep in mind its meaning is growing. The wreath contains four candles, one being lit on the first Sunday in Advent (December 2 this year) and two the next Sunday, three the next and four the Sunday before Christmas. Many of our churches teach that advent is the season one should pre­ pare for the advent of the Saviour on the 25th; in some there are elaborate rituals. But there is doubt when the practice began. Aside from specifically prescribed rituals or specific beliefs, the cus­ tom of using a wreath with four candles has been adopted by more and more Americans of all faiths, just as Santa Claus comes into almost every home. It's a good custom; for the candles and wreath are reminders of a happy time to come. If it is an accepted custom in the home, lighting the can­ dles at each of four suc­ cessive Sunday dinner tables adds a warm and often a Christian atmos­ phere in the home. Choosing A Honeydew When choosing a honeydew, first look for color -- creamy- white or creamy-yellow. Rind that is pure white or has a greenish tinge indicates a melon that was picked too soon. A four ounce portion of honey­ dew melon contains just 40 calories. Before You Buy Before you buy beef labelled Prime T-bones, make sure they were cut from Prime beef.
