Do I really want to 'do' Easter?


I'm a sucker for a celebration. I like to throw myself into these things with abandon and go large. Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, sometimes Australia Day, sometimes not.

Easter has always been, well, Easter. Little old Easter. If you're not religious (and if you were, I'm guessing Easter is big), Easter is the most relaxing holiday of them all. Start with a few chockies left by the rabbit in any old hat, throw in bunch of flowers, a croissant breakfast and a disorganised backyard hunt complete with melting eggs and lots of fights. Easter. 

Now Pinterest has come along and I'm seeing that Easter can be so much more than that. There's this whole random Spring-themed, chicken-birthing, egg-painting thing going on in many homes. 

Do I want to deck the house with a pastel themed tree like Martha recommends?


Or add a sweet little wreath to the door to add a touch of Springy humour to Autumn?


Am I going to make egg candles with Martha (please, Martha, do go away)?


Gulp. Do I want to do the Every Kid In The Class thing?


Do I really want to do Easter? Another seasonal celebration that we're kinda in the wrong season for?

Do I? Do you?
