In Sweden it is easter. I have vacumed half of the house. I didn’t feel like doing the rest right now. I have put myself on schedule for working next week. We’ll se if that goes through. Afterall it is easter holidays and perhaps there isn’t much work.
I painted our kid to the easter theme and dressed it likewise for kindergarten. Then I took a photo and sent it on to some relatives. The kid seemed happy being in a costume. Afterall, it is easter and both girls and boys dress up in Sweden.
Other Easters some kids also come by in the evening saying “Glad påsk” (Happy easter) and give a drawing they made and then they get candy or money.
I used to dress up with my friends, both boys and girls, and go around in the neighbourhood doing that. I got a lot of extra cash when I did that. It was good to do it since I lived a pretty poor life back then.
Well. We’ll see if the boys and girls in the neighbourhood ring the bell tonight. I have to buy some candy, so that I may give them some candy.
Today is called “Skärtorsdag” and according to Swedish tradition this is the day when “påskkärringarna” go to “Blåkulla”. (Easter witches goes to a place called Blue hill to meet other easter witches/magicians).
Here is a YouTube-film of a really cute “Påskkärring”.
