Since I use the same basket every year and then I saw these really great plastic buckets and my practical side said they are sturdier and can be used for other things after easter like, all those little tiny toys so I bought two. I filled them with strawberries, apples, fruit rollups, beefjerky, and toothbrushes and paste. Yes, I know, but that is what my six year old wanted. No candy for him except the fruit rollups. He is his Nana's boy, fruit all the way. Anyway, I put writing tablets, drawing tablets, paint, and other creative things inside the basket as well and new books and videos and things like that. No guns, no cars, no plastic parachutes. His mother wanted him to have toys and I said no. Every holiday the kids get more toys than they can ever play with. It's time to work on their artistic side. So there. I did it my way.zelda1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04212809913449846878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-1111786564851551052005-03-25T16:36:00.000-05:002005-03-25T16:36:00.000-05:00ooo, I *like* the idea of a light-up Jesus-on-the-...ooo, I *like* the idea of a light-up Jesus-on-the-cross display for Easter!

These are people who usually have a nativity scene at Christmas. Why, I asked my husband, don't they have crosses with Jesus on them, maybe with light-up eyes or something?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766222493968363248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-1111783198662770652005-03-25T15:39:00.000-05:002005-03-25T15:39:00.000-05:00The other true meaning of "new life" at Easter has...The other true meaning of "new life" at Easter has always been selling baby bunnies, most of which are soon after abandoned and dumped, after which they are generally killed by roaming dogs and vicious children, unless they get lucky and last long enough to starve to death. Chicks don't do much better.<BR/><BR/>The candies, when you think about it, really aren't any different from hot cross buns (which I can't find anymore--they are delicious)--just tackier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
