In 2016, advent begins Sunday, November 27th, and ends Saturday, December 24th.
In 2016, the first Advent candle should be lit on November 27th, the second on December 4th, the third on December 11th, and the fourth on December 18th.
The second week of advent starts 3 weeks before Christmas. The 2012 date is December 9 and the 2013 date is December 8. I know this stuff really well because my birthday is December 9! :D
The 4 Sundays before Christmas Day are part of Advent. Advent begins on the first of those Sundays. The date will vary each year, so it can start in late November or early December.
Advent does not always start on the same day because it is based on the liturgical calendar, which is tied to the date of Christmas. Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, which means its start date can vary between November 27 and December 3. This variation is due to the way the calendar is structured, with Christmas falling on December 25 each year.
