1. Easter is in a fun, springy time of year when things are starting to get warm.
2. You get a pretty new dress to wear to church (at least that's how it used to be).
3. The candy is the best of any time of the year.
4. There is a good religious meaning behind it.
This year Easter is earlier than normal so it may not be a nice and springy as it has been some years but I am still looking forward to it. I was mentioning my excitement about Easter candy to Matthew the other day and he pointed out that I still havn't got through my Christmas and Valentines candy (see previous post about new years resolutions...yeah, I'm going strong!). This is true but I can't pass up the goodness of Easter candy and wait for a whole year for it to come around again. So I'm thinking maybe I should just hit the clearance racks the day after Easter and get some sweet deals. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!I think this great Peeps picture will be on the poster for their new Broadway show (this was shot just before they do the kickline routine :). By the way, I am of the school of thought that Peeps are great. Sugar, air, gelatin...what more do you need?

ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Easter candy is the best. I was eyeing it at the store yesterday, but I decided I'd wait til right after easter and get a bargain on it. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteCadburry Eggs are my weakness! It's good and bad that I can only get them once a year, but I end up hoarding them and trying to make them last as long as possible!
ReplyDeletea Cadburry Egg!!
ReplyDeleteand they sell them year round in England. lets go. like now.
I'm with you on the Peeps, however I like them aged about 2 days, in the package, with just a slit cut in the plastic.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, i can confirm that Michelle has been the most enthusiastic Easter celebrator of anyone I've known, her whole life. Every easter picture we have of Michelle as a child, she has a mouth full of peep. A true enthusiast.
Mini Eggs are my downfall. It disgusts me to admit that I've probably eaten about a dozen bags of them so far...and I'm not talking about the little bags. But they're only around during these few months!! I must take advantage!!
