This is an advent wreath. The last four sundays before christmas are, at least in Denmark, called the four sundays in advent - they have something to do with the church new year, though I am not clear on the details. It is traditionel to make a wreath with four candles - on the first sunday one candle is lighted, on the second sunday two and so forth.
I have always thought of it as kind of an official start of the christmas month, even when it is a couple of days too early.
