Catholics treat Advent similar to Lent. They give up something, like candy or coffee or snacks, etc.

Advent starts 4 weeks before Christmas and lasts until Christmas Eve.

Some Catholics "track" Advent by lighting an Advent wreath. An Advent wreath is a wreath with four candles, three purple and one pink. For each week of Advent they light another candle (the pink one is for the third week in Advent).
