Advent does not necessarily start on December 1st.
In the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, and Methodist calendars, Advent starts on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. Since Christmas is always December 25th, it is not always the same day of the week, so the beginning of Advent can range from November 27th to December 3rd.

No. It depends upon which day Christmas Day falls. There must be four Sundays in Advent.
