Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone!

I have always loved Easter.  I mean, it is the perfect holiday for kids really.  Christmas only works because of the sheer amount of food and presents, because lets face it - Santa is kind of creepy.  My sister never liked Santa in the shopping centres (although it never stopped her from accepting his presents!).  BUT EASTER.  Chocolate plus a small fluffy mammal.  PERFECT.  And this year we get 5 days off in a row.  Last Christmas it was only 3.  And it was stinking hot, as it is in Australia.

When I was a kid it was easy to see how cool you were at Easter. It was the volume of chocolate the Easter Bunny brought you.  Going on this gem of wisdom I bought as many Easter eggs this year as my budget would allow.  Why buy 20 Cadbury eggs when I can get 30 no name Australian made ones for the same price!  I bought two packets.  I had SOOOO MANY EASTER EGGS. I was awesome.  Until I ate the chocolate eggs I had bought.  It was like a chocolate chicken and a Japanese curry had an illegitimate love child.  It may have taken me 24 years, but I have finally learnt the lesson of putting quality above quantity.

Easter egg, anyone?
