Easter is always a great chance to spend time with family and many families will be looking to really make the most out of it with COVID-19 restrictions rolled back. Additionally, the weather is usually nice at this time of year so it is a chance to spend time outside (although it is always smart to have a backup plan!). So, how can you celebrate Easter this year to really make the most out of it?
Go On a Staycation
This Easter could be the perfect time to take the kids for a staycation for a long weekend. Many people have been putting off holidays, so this could be a great chance to escape from home and enjoy exploring somewhere new. You are spoilt for choice in the UK with places like the Lake District, Cornwall, Yorkshire, and the Cotswolds all being good choices in Spring.
Rainy Day Options
As mentioned in the intro, it is important to have a backup plan in place in case the weather stops you from enjoying time outside. Fortunately, there are all kinds of fun things that you can do as a family if you are stuck inside. Baking Easter treats, arts and crafts, an Easter egg hunt inside the house, and getting cozy with a few Easter films are all good options. You can find Easter eggs for sale online that you can all enjoy eating together over the weekend and will make the long weekend a special one for the whole family.
The Importance of Traditions
Easter is a holiday season that is filled with traditions. Obviously, there are many religious traditions at this time of year that households partake in. Even if you are not a religious household, this is a holiday with all kinds of traditions like Easter eggs, baking hot cross buns, painting eggs and Easter bonnets. You may also have your own unique family traditions at this time of the year, which you are sure to want to pass down to your kids.
Traditions are important as a family as they connect you to your past as well as your future. Carrying out Easter traditions is sure to remind you of your own childhood and it is an amazing feeling seeing your children enjoying the activities that you used to do with your parents. This is why Easter is a time for family and a holiday where you can make happy new memories together.
Hopefully, this post will give you a few ideas for ways to enjoy Easter this year and really make the most of the long weekend (and hopefully the good weather!).
