MEMORIAL DAY- A DAY TO HONOR THOSE WHO SERVED THE NATION

Join us on :

Even after 145 years, Memorial Day continues to be one of America’s most cherished patriotic observances. It was in 1968 that Congress began the practice of combining workplace practicality with tradition, passing the uniform Monday Holiday Act, officially moving Memorial Day to the last Monday in May in order to create three Day weekends for federal workers. The law, simultaneously, declared Memorial Day a federal holiday, and took effect in 1971.

LAST MINUTE POINTERS FOR MOTHER’S DAY

Join us on :

Mother’s Day is that one day of the year when mothers should be made to feel loved and appreciated, so this Mother’s Day you should put in that extra bit of effort to ensure that everything is about her.

Your mother has been there for you your entire life as your friend, counselor, guide and well, just as your mom. The least you can do on this day is not bog her down with your own troubles and worries; there are plenty of days in the year for you to do that. Mother’s Day is all about her and you should spend it doing things that will make her feel appreciated.

If you aren’t staying with your mom then coming down and surprising her would be the perfect gift that you could give her. Since you will be putting in the effort, go the extra mile and buy some heart-warming gifts, some chocolates and her favorite flowers on the way. Finding you at the doorstep with a basket full of goodies and a bouquet of flowers is a sight that she won’t forget in a hurry, it will be a memory that she will cherish forever.

If mom’s been worried about the weight she has piled on recently no matter how much she talks about wanting to lose that weight, getting her a gym membership or gifting her diet cook book is not such a great idea on this day. Instead accompany her for an evening walk or go for a mother-daughter/son hike to the nearby hiking trail. Spending quality time in the open air amidst nature will be a refreshing change for her and will make her feel rejuvenated. She might just take it up on a daily basis.

Cleaning the house and keeping it spick and span might be mom’s favorite hobby but don’t let her indulge herself and spend hours doing what she does practically every single day in the year. Instead, give her a break, let her put her feet up and just spend the afternoon lazing around. Turn the tables on her and let her relax as you tidy up the house and clean the dishes. It will truly be a proud moment for her.

Last but not the least, do not forget! This is the worst thing that you can do on Mother’s Days. Do what it takes but do not forget to wish your mom and make this day special for her. Set alarms on your phone calendar; ask a family member or friend to remind you close to the day.

Make this day as a special as it’s meant to be and show mom that you truly adore and appreciate her from the bottom of your heart. Happy Mother’s Day!

EASTER- A TIME TO CELEBRATE NEW BEGINNINGS & THE RENEWAL OF SPIRIT

Join us on :

Easter is the time to celebrate new beginnings, the renewal of spirit and for the Easter bunny and Easter eggs to make an appearance. The festival of Easter is celebrated to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ after crucifixion and is one of the holiest Christian festivals. The Easter Day also traditionally heralds the advent of the spring season after the gloomy months of winter. As such Easter festival is associated with joyous merriment and gaiety.

Origin of Easter

Like many other Christian festivals, Easter has also emerged from ancient pagan roots. It is an amalgamation of a myriad of Pagan, Hebrew and Christian traditions. Easter incorporates pagan symbols of fertility in the shape of the Easter bunny and Easter eggs. The name of the festival, Easter, itself may be an offshoot of Eostre, the pagan Goddess of spring.

Easter celebrations across the world

Dyed eggs were shared and eaten at spring festivals in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Persia and China. Gradually these traditions made their way westward and were expressed in various forms – from dyed goose eggs to beautifully decorated paper mâché eggs in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the late 19th and early 20th century the ultimate Easter eggs – the Fabergé eggs made their royal appearance.

Easter celebration has always been synonymous with merry-making and enjoyment. Because of this aspect, the recent years have witnessed increasing commercialization of the Christian Easter festival. Today during Easter holidays, sale of greeting cards and confectionery such as chocolate Easter eggs, marshmallow bunnies, Peeps, and jelly beans prove to be big hits.

The Origin of Chocolate Easter Eggs

Chocolate Easter eggs come from Europe. Today’s tradition of giving chocolate Easter eggs as gifts can be traced back to 19th century France and Germany. The first eggs were small and solid and made of bitter dark chocolate. As technology improved and cocoa became more widely available, so did chocolate Easter eggs. The tradition spread other parts of the world, often with each country making their own unique mark.

The first mass-produced chocolate egg appeared in England in 1873 when Cadbury debuted their first Easter egg. It wasn’t until the early 1900s that milk chocolate Easter eggs became available. Today’s Easter eggs are available in dizzying variety – from those found on supermarket shelves to the top quality uber-thick chocolate works of art, beautifully decorated and filled with chocolate surprises from specialty chocolatiers.

Sending Easter wishes

People the world over celebrate the true spirit of Easter Sunday by sending enticing Easter gifts, enchanting ensembles and delectable chocolates to near and dear ones. There are plenty of options to choose from as gifts are specially crafted keeping in mind this spirited holiday. So this Easter Sunday, don’t miss out on sending your loved ones Easter gifts, Easter flowers, Easter Hampers or delectable Easter chocolate eggs.

Easter Sunday will be celebrated on 31^st March, 2013 and next year it will be celebrated on Sunday, 20^th April 2014.

HAPPY MOTHERING SUNDAY

In the UK, Mother’s Day is traditionally referred to as Mothering Sunday. Mothering Sunday has been celebrated for many centuries and is part of the Christian tradition. This day always falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent.

Ideally one doesn’t need reasons for celebrating Mother’s Day and appreciating one’s mother and showering her with gifts. However, there is quite a history behind the origin of ‘UK Mother’s Day’ and as this day draws near, the time seems perfect to know that how this day came to be known as ‘Mothering Sunday’.

Like the rest of Europe, England and Ireland observed the mid-Lent holiday and honored and decorated their “Mother Church,” the church where they were baptized. The church eventually extended the observation to honor all mothers. The English called this Mothering Sunday and, in the 1700’s they observed it by taking a break from the fasting and penitence of Lent and having a family feast.

Children would make a rare journey home from their apprenticeships and jobs to spend the day with their mother and family. Mothering Sunday fell out of practice in the early 1900’s. After WWII, however, the islanders once again picked up the tradition, inspired largely by the United States. Today UK Mother’s Day continues in much the same way as the old tradition, with cards and dinners in honor of Mothers.

In addition, cakes and flowers — especially violets — are given to Moms on Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom. It is customary to serve Simnel Cake, a glazed fruitcake inspired by a folk tale about a married couple, Simon and Nell. This pair could not decide whether to bake or broil a cake, so in the end they ended up doing both. Thus Simnel Cake was born.

From gift ideas and picturesque places to visit with your mom to the perfect flowers for the occasion, there are many ways in which you can show your mom your affection, gratitude and love and make Mother’s Day special. Celebrate your special bond with your mom this Mother’s Sunday with delectable hampers, enticing cakes or stunning ensembles that have been crafted specially with love and a whole lot of warmth. This year in 2013, UK Mother’s Day will be celebrated on 10^th March whereas in 2014 it will be celebrated on 30^th March.
