My family's family is from the South. Edenton, North Carolina is where the majority of my father's side of the family is. I was raised Southern Baptist. Can I get an "Amen"?
Every Easter my mother would dress me in 400 crinolines and mary jane patent leather shoes and my easter bonnet and white gloves. My brothers had little suits and shiny dress shoes that would make their feet hurt. Have you seen Steel Magnolias? Yep. That's Easter from my childhood.
All the grown ups had fancy dresses and suits and the women wore elaborate hats with flowers all over them. And gloves and white shoes.....
I miss that. Not the other crazy stuff but that.
Seems like in the last few years, people don't dress up so much. Even the older ladies. It's a shame. I miss the pastels and flowers. And the decorating/blossoming of the cross.
Sigh. Cynicism should have nothing to do with Easter.
Easter is HUGE! As Heather would say, Christmas has got nothing on Easter....
Can I get an "Amen"? Just one?
The music was really good though! Hallelujah! He is Risen!
