Celebrating Easter

I have already written about Easter, a year ago.

Both Christmas and Easter are also celebrated by people who just think it's a chance for a family meeting. For them, it's not really connected with religion. Everybody has free time during those celebrations - Easter Sunday and Easter Monday (Wet Monday) are national holidays.

Spring!

I love winter. I love it when it snow. I prefer the lower temperature. And... there are so many celebrations during winter:

• New Year party (rather party-oriented), 
• Carnival (lost of parties) 
• ending with the Fat Thursday (a day of eating Polish doughnuts and other sweets).

Winter ends with drowning Marzanna in river or lakes on the first day of Spring. An old pre-Christian tradition resurrected some times ago.
