As it Easter in a few weeks , I look at ‘Easter Ideas’ Vol 1 (p163 CTG).

Here commercial Easter can start about 2nd January and Easter Hot Cross Buns are on sale here early February. I only buy marked down Easter Hot Cross Buns and put them into my freezer for Easter week. Another thrifty thing I do for this season, is making chocolate mould chocolates as gifts, buy melting cooking chocolate to put into the moulds. When I go into thrift shop or to garage sale I look for these moulds, I now have a good range of different moulds. Coloured eggs is thing I do at times. When my son was a young he didn’t like chocolate or sugar eggs so he got new box of Lego and block of his favourite chocolate.

TG - Quote ‘my final thought ….. focus on spiritual significance of the holiday’.

My thoughts - Do check on someone who is alone at this time of year, call or visit him or her.
