I always have a tough time trying to decide what to do for Easter. Outside of the going to Mass, indulging in a big family dinner, and distributing the Easter baskets - it's hard for me to come up with decorative ideas.
I see items in the store, but I rarely ever buy them. You would think that those of us that are Christian, we would have tons of Easter decor, but no, unlike Christmas, Easter takes a back seat. However, it's not like that every where. My exchange students from Europe told me that Easter was a much bigger holiday than it is in America, and honestly it should be. Isn't our whole religion based on the mystery that is Easter - the risen Christ?
With that being said, I want to get more into Easter in the future. I did a littl research for you, and I hope you like some of the ideas I came up with. I plan to take these and use them in the future.
Luckily, you have a few weeks until Easter - now here are a few tips and tricks you can use to really impress your family, as well as invoke the "Easter" Spirit.
