The season of Easter

Well here it is Easter 2008. This means we are moving into Spring and then Summer and then we start all over with Christmas again.

Where does the time go these days?

So this is the week before Easter, probably the most holiest of weeks for the religious community. Many people will be celebrating their respect for the respective religion/belief in many different ways. Some go to church and pray every day while others stay home and pray. I think whatever way you choose is a good way to respect what Jesus did for us all.

Once all the religious ceremonies are over, families will then celebrate in the kid like manner with which their own children will celebrate. Hunting for eggs, coloring eggs, eating too much chocolate and other candy and relishing over all the goodies the Easter Bunny has left in their baskets overnight. Then they will all eat a big Easter meal and spend time with the family.

Our family partakes in an egg knocking contest. We take the hard boiled eggs that we have so diligently colored and knock the pointy ends on another person's egg till someones egg cracks. We continue this process untill we are down to one person with both ends of their egg not cracked. The following is a link about the contest that is done in Marksville Louisiana where our family is from: Remember this article: http://www.louisianafolklife.org/LT/Articles_Essays/creole_art_egg_knocking.html

We of course still take part in the Easter bunny and candy and goodies and egg huts and a big meal but most of all take part in enjoying the company of our family.

Happy Easter everyone!
