We're a secular household, but we still like to celebrate the holidays. This often means giving holiday traditions our own twist.


In our house, the 'Easter Bunny' has a very important job. After a long dark winter, she comes out in the spring. Her job is to count little children's ribs to make sure they have enough ribs to last through the summer. (Commence formal rib count, aka tickling!) If the unfortunate child doesn't have enough ribs, then the remedy is to eat lots of chocolate on Easter day.


Needless to say there has been a lot tickling, and the Easter Bunny's arrival is keenly awaited as a symbol of the returning fruitfulness of spring... and chocolate!


Now we just need some spring weather.


How will you be celebrating with your children this year?


Happy Easter xx

In Hungary we build nests out of fresh green grass and the Easter bunny lays the chocolate eggs in there.

Then on Easter Monday the guys come around to water all the girls, as we believe girls are like flowers and need to be waatered so they don't dry out. So the guys come and knock on the door, you open up, they tell you a little Easter poem, pour water on your head, and you give them chocolate eggs, real painted eggs or a shot of Palinka, (its similar to the Italian grappa) for the older ones. My brother is always the first one to water me, as he pulls the blanket off me and pours a whole glass of water over me, first thing in the morning. :)It's all good fun.

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
