Easter can be a fun day

So everyone has their Easter traditions in a different fashion. Mine, when I was a practicing Catholic, included the early morning Easter egg hunt, followed by a rousing effort to get to chuch in the morning, and then returning home to bake incessantly all day. Because we were kids, the whole cleaning house process was reserved for the Saturday before. 

So picture: house is clean, kids are theoretically clean, egghunting in little Buster Brown sandals, grandpa and parents happy that the day is a low maintenance frill. 

Now, the baking part is the one that I like the most. I think that it's imperative that everyone in a household take part. Not only is the ritual therapeutic, it is also a test of skill. See, when preparing ingredients, you have precision measurements and timely expectations of how the mixture will form. When in the final bake/setting process, you have the patience game. But nothing prepares you for the decorating part. One person happens to have the dominant talent, and if that's not you, one can easily feel inadequate. You should always make an effort to be artistically inclined, but its always encouraged to find the most talented person and ask them  to  create if you feel they will bring the most justice. 

It's a practice that most people may intuititvely feel abused for their power, but they will understand when the praise and appreciation comes.
