Where does the "Day of the Little Candles" mark the beginning of the Christmas season?

Colombia kicks off the Christmas season with Little Candles’ Day (Día de las Velitas) to honor the Virgin Mary. Placing candles on windowsills and in stunning displays all over town, it's almost like the American tradition of Christmas lights, only with fire. Competitions even pit neighborhoods against each other to see who can come up with the most dazzling display.
