Easter is in the running for my favorite holiday for a few reasons.
First, it is *normally* accompanied by warm weather. I hate being cold, so that gives Easter a definite advantage over the holidays that take place in the cold months of October-February.
Second, when I was growing up, my entire extended family would get together at my house for a delightful dinner prepared by some of the world best cooks. (My mom, her sisters and my grandmother can make a mean Easter dinner!!) We would do a easter egg hunt with the young kids and would talk and laugh all afternoon. I have fond memories of Easter and great expectations for the future Easter holidays.
Third, I love easter clothes. I loved dressing up when I was little, and I LOVE dressing up my kids even more!
Fourth, and most importantly, I love pondering the true meaning of Easter. This holiday touches my heart even more than Christmas. I feel peace and gratitude. Every time I read the Easter story, I am overcome with a feeling of hope. I am so grateful for what this holiday stands for.
I hope your Easter holiday is full of peace and that you are surrounded by the ones you love.

Happy Easter! Hope you have a wonderful day!
