Carrot-shaped lights, bunny wreaths and beauty boxes – forget Easter, welcome to ‘Eastermas’ | Amelia Tait
AChild SA, I was strongly aware of the unfair practices of fairy teeth, Santa Claus and the so -called Easter Rabbit. How can my teeth be less valuable than Abbie Smith-Arthur’s? Why was my sock storage, Walter Boys, next to their sofa size, was the size of their sofa? For what reason you got a big Easter egg, and Bethany on the road got 11?
If you are a child today, I will be more confused (and extreme), thanks to the uncompromising height in Easter. More than a quarter of British adults Now buy Easter gifts, given their loved ones not only chocolate but flowers, games and clothes. On Tiktok, the tagged videos #eassterbasket show headphones, coaches, face creams, keys, cover, blood and party tickets that parents give to their children – in short, more gifts than most people receive on Christmas. I will not deny that it is good to give each other nice things, but I am afraid that the trend will put pressure on the parents, and to normalize a level of consumption that may not have been possible even before a decade before.
Leave in any high street store and you will see our current levels of capital eggs. John Lewis sells a chain in the shape of carrots and spins a rabbit. For 10 pounds, you can get it snowball It includes two rabbits in the carrot car. Among us does not need “Luxurious chicken ink pen“From the tiger flying, or salt in the form of eggs and pepper chains from the following?
It is not a matter that I think we should not go to Easter. My mom has long stuck small motifs on the “Easter Tree” in our dining room-and she has a wooden bowl of hand-painted eggs that passed from her mother. But I am concerned that the side panels that accommodate an egg worth 3 pounds from Dunelm do not last in the same way. I am afraid that no one is actually a wardrobe space for A bowl of 18 pounds of molded £ In a green mint suit and matching the upper hat. It is difficult not to think about these things as a cloak feed that will be used once and not again.
There is an easy equation for ridicule: let people enjoy things! We live in dark times and we have to find happiness where we can! But who told you that you can buy joy? Who is the idea that shopping was self -care? Commenting Tell the trustee: “After long winter, people are looking for something to celebrate it.” How to take into account, then, that Okado wants to help us celebrate with Easter Easter, £ 18.
I think we all need to check the happiness of spending that actually makes us – and the duration of this feeling really continues before we are overwhelmed by the desire to get rid. If you are Google “Easter Games”, the search engine reveals that others have Google: “What do they get children for Easter who have everything?” Can there be alternatives that make us happier than things?
Because there is no crime to Bithani on the road, but I am sure that I tasted the Easter egg, one more than I did to it 11. If you are looking for a little happiness in these difficult times, instead of buying something new, may I suggest the battle to eavesdrop on eggs? It is a tradition in my Polish family – and I believe that many others – to dye eggs and paint eggs (not the glass from Oliver Punas) and then destroy them to each other to see cracks from. We have never disturbed the baskets with headphones and headphones, but instead filled it with bread, eggs, sausages and salt that a priest is blessed at a party known as “”święconka“Of course, for many Easter it is now secular, but this does not mean that it cannot be meaningful, characterized by what we create instead of what we consume.
According to the Kantar Market Research Company, 3.4 million Britons will spend 50 pounds for all Easter gifts this year – and most of these people are fathers. I don’t think it is by chance The highly spectacular are also Magazine and video are likely to be consumed upon ordinary adults. Easter baskets stuffed with gifts appear to be an American tradition began to cross the Atlantic Ocean thanks to social media. And not only Easter: We live in an era of intense basket, with Halloween Bo’s basketsChristmas Eve boxes, December 1, Valentine’s Days, and Tesbet baskets (for the famous winter) on Tikhak. Now, it can hardly pass a month in which parents do not expect to fill a basket with tat for their children.
Six years ago, my brother and I broke the decoration of Easter that had been in our family for decades. This makes it seem like a terrible accident: in fact, we intentionally destroyed the black and white eggs because we shook them and heard the fateful death of death at home. Our curiosity has become better than us and we break it open to discover the purple purple yolk that our dog wanted to eat. I get to break the inheritance-even if it is a spoiled literal-wasteful egg, but I still make a mistake that it is less wasting than the runner of the long artificial grass table.
This does not mean that I recommend destroying the motifs as the functional activity full of fun, but I think I recommend filling your home with meaningful things (if vital) is prepared. I recommend painting an egg or wrapping it down the hill, and thin yellow chicks paste it into a bonus. Of course, buy your child some chocolate eggs – certainly less than 11.
