It is Easter Weekend – so much to do with the kids.. so little time.<\/p>\n
We will, of course, do the wonderfully fun egg hunt and find some time to feast during this weekend.\u00a0 What I am itching for is something that my family and I can call our own each Easter.\u00a0 Something that my kids recognize as our family tradition.\u00a0 I started to look toward my childhood in Germany for some inspiration.\u00a0 For some reason I remember Easter and Christmas being utterly magical – lights and festivities everywhere.\u00a0 Absolutely stunning.<\/p>\n
Since I am not German, but have experienced it’s rich culture I figure it’s best to combine a sort of Spanish\/Mexican (the richest part of my lineage) with my experiences in Europe.\u00a0 Latinos (especially my mom’s family – where my mexican\/spanish heritage comes from) are very family\/community oriented.\u00a0 Big feasts with close and extended family is part of every holiday and celebration.\u00a0 Attention to detail and ritual are a large part of German Easter culture – maticulously painted, hollowed-out eggs hanging from trees, a formally set feast with one’s best china on display for the occasion, children dressed in their best suits and shoes.\u00a0 Combining the two could make for a wonderfully warm and well thought out experience.<\/p>\n
Of course, it might just turn out that we take advantage of the day off, throw on our coziest jeans and tennis shoes and make for a day at the park (our Easter chocolates packed with us, of course).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
