Enjoy the spring during a long Easter weekend!

April 8, 2011 - PRLog -- The first daffodils have bloomed, sheep are grazing the new grass with big bellies and more than likely, you have already seen a few lambs frolicking around. All this means just one thing: spring has arrived! Though Easter is quite late this year, the beginning of spring has everybody looking forward to stepping out into the sunshine and going egg hunting.

The original Easter holiday is of course a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but it is also a celebration of the change in seasons and the new life visible all around once spring arrives. After a harsh winter, fragrant flowers and plants reappear after having died the previous autumn. Animals that have slept all winter leave their first tracks of the year in the sun-warmed earth.

Before Christianity, people used to celebrate and honour Nature’s fertility. They did so in the early spring because it is then that everything starts to grow again. Part of their traditions included praising the sun that rises in the East and this subsequently led to the name of the Christian holiday “Easter.” The symbols used back then are still a part of our modern Easter celebrations. Think of Easter eggs, Easter bunnies and young lambs.

The soft toys from YourSurprise.co.uk are great original Easter decorations; customers can choose from furry lambs, happy bunnies and several other animal characters. All the soft toys come wearing an adorable T-shirt that can be personalized with cute photos and the text you provide.

Easter is an exciting time for the children among us; the extra long weekend and delicious special breakfast is a wonderful treat. While mum whips up a culinary masterpiece, dad has a chance to hide Easter eggs in the garden. Once breakfast is over, all the children are well fuelled for the annual egg hunt. This year, YourSurprise.co.uk is offering a lovely alternative to be treasured and enjoyed: a variety of chocolates featuring your own photo and text. Finding a chocolate treasure has never been so surprising!

Enjoy this Easter weekend and may it be a brilliant foretaste of an amazing summer. But first make a point of soaking up the beautiful colours and scents of spring!
