all about Easter

 

 To some, Easter means bunnies, eggs,
a new outfit tis true, but to me, Easter
is everyday that I have you.

It's a day for us all a new beginning
with you at my side I can't keep from winning.

I pray that HIS Presence will forever watch
over us and protect us from harm.
Keep love in our hearts for each
other and for friends so warm.

That HE will bless us with health, happiness
and a long life together,
With HIS love and good will we'll
survive all kinds of weather.

When we have run the last lap in the
human race, May we meet our Lord
together and gaze on His wonderful face,
and pray that HE will accept us in His family as
we bask in His Presence, and safe forever be!


 
All the things I've learned from the Easter Bunny:

 

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
 

The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.


Everyone needs a friend that is all ears.

 

 

There is no such thing as too much candy.


 

All work and no play can make you a basket case.


Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

 


Keep your paws off other people's jelly beans !

 


The grass is always greener in someone else's basket.

 


An Easter Bonnet can tame even the wildest hare.

 


Good things come in small, sugar coated packages.

 


Walk softly and carry a big carrot!

 

 

Wishing you the Best Easter yet!!!

 


    EASTER  PARADE 

In my Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
I'd be the grandest lady in the Easter parade,
I'll be all in clover and when they look my over,
You'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter parade.

On the avenue, 5th Avenue,
The photographers will snap us,
And you'll find that you're in the Rotogravure.
Oh, you may write a sonnet, about my Easter bonnet,
And of the girl you're taking to the Easter Parade.

'In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You'd be the grandest lady in the Easter parade',
I'll be all in clover and when they look my over,
You'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter parade.

On the avenue, 5th Avenue,
The photographers will snap us,
And you'll find that you're in the Rotogravure.
Oh, you may write a sonnet, about my Easter bonnet,
And of the girl you're taking to the Easter Parade.

'Never saw you look quite so pretty before,
Never saw you dress quite so handsome, what's more

I can hardly wait to keep our date, this lovely Easter morning,
And my heart beat fast as I came through the door.
For...'

         


Easter Parade is a popular song that was written by Irving Berlin and was published in 1933. The lyrics describe the singer's involvement in an American cultural event called the Easter parade.

The song was introduced by Marilyn Miller and Clifton Webb in the Broadway musical revue As Thousands Cheer (1933), in which musical numbers were strung together on the thematic thread of newspaper headlines. It was sung by Bing Crosby in the film Holiday Inn (1942), which featured an Irving Berlin song about each major holiday. In 1948, it was performed by Judy Garland and Fred Astaire in the musical film of the same title, which was constructed around the song.

An Easter Bonnet represents the tail-end of a tradition of wearing new clothes at Easter, in harmony with the renewal of the year and the promise of spiritual renewal and redemption.


The "Easter bonnet" was fixed in popular culture by Irving Berlin, whose frame of reference was the Easter parade in New York City, a festive walkabout that made its way down Fifth Avenue from St. Patrick's Cathedral:

In your Easter bonnet
with all the frills upon it,
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade
