I am not a big fan of holidays like Halloween, Valentine's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc. Partly because I don't remember doing much for fun on those days as a family. Maybe we did, but I don't recall it. What I do remember was the Christmas was the only day my Mum had off and was able to spend a nice day at home with us, most other holidays she was working and we were left alone or with a sitter. So it's not much of a suprise that I am not very keen on doing things. For one I am not a planner and usually save things to the last minute. Also when I became saved holidays took on a completely new meaning to me. I realized just how paganistic we are in our Christian holidays, not that everyone is a Christian, but our country was founded on Christian beliefs and traditions. Now that I have children of my own I have been dreading the thought of putting something together for them to teach them the importance of Christian holidays.. and seperate them from the pagan ideas. This is probably the first year I realize it's realy important because Keke is at the age she can understand things. One of her favorite lines is "FOREVER!", meaning anything she's excited about is.. well "forever", to which I have been replying "nothing is forever, only God!". Keke has finally caught onto that and so it's clear she understands that she has to be careful what she says and believes, just as it's important to me to teach her right from wrong, pagan vs Christian teaching..
So I have been doing a little research, late in my game as today is Good Friday, but non the less I want to teach her something. And since I didn't really have this teaching in my upbringing I found a really nice site that I would like to share. http://www.toddler-activities-at-home.com/christian-easter-crafts-for-kids.html I looked at the resurection cookies, so cool, but has nuts.. anyone else have a suggestion for that?
