I get the last three but the first one leaves me baffled.

The four themes or symbols of Advent are Hope, Peace, Love, and Joy. The first is represented by a candle.

Initial LL gets to 68%.

R35: EL v. R33 shows we can't have a 3 clue in R9-11 (though we could have a 1 clue there). This means the second 3 can't start until C14, and there is just enough room for the remaining clues if that's where you put it.

LL solves the rest.
