Hello Dear Reader,
I love this time of year, of rebirth and renewal.
As ever, I personally steer right away from any commercialisation of Christ. He’s not for sale or to be profited by. He doesn’t need twigs decorated with eggs, chocolate at high prices, chicks, rabbits or any other pagan fertility symbolism. We don’t need wrapping paper, gifts or any paraphernalia to enjoy his message of peace.
If you want to know how I manage Christmas or Easter on a budget, the easiest way for me to explain how we do it for free is to remember that every day is a day of faith and love and family. With that in mind, neither costs me a single penny and I see no reason whatsoever to succumb to commercialisation.
Have a wonderful day as we can marvel in the love and forgiveness that is there for all of us.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs
A truly wonderful time of year, newness, rebirth and signs of life all around.
We really need to count our blessings and take comfort in our faith, family and friends at this time of year….not spend as much money as we possibly can and panic buy because the shops are shut FOR ONE WHOLE DAY!!
Happy Easter Froogs and DB.

He is risen indeed, Alleluia! I took the Easter service at the chapel in the village this morning and we had lots of Alleluias.
Wishing you a peaceful Easter xx

Great post [as usual] and yes, the message of Easter is about God's FREE gift.
So Tesco, M&S et al can look elsewhere to make profits this weekend, some of us are celebrating the things that money cannot buy
Happy Happy Easter to you - and all your readers!

Yes, strange how people equate spending lots of money on over-priced goodies to happiness?

Hear, hear!
I've spent the weekend growling and snarling about the easter bunny and reminding my kids on an hourly basis about why and who we are celebrating. Excessive commercialisation is starting to make me feel very puritanical!
Happy Easter!
