    Never heard of an Easter Tree.

    If I can figure how to post from my tablet I'll post one when I get home ;);)

    Believe it or not it is a thing! I don't have one or would even consider getting one. I like leaving the decorations for the Christmas period and go OTT then :)

    Oh my god I'd completely forgotten about the existence of Easter trees! We used to have them when I was little. We used to love painting eggs for the tree - you put a hole in each end of the egg and blow all the yolk and whites out, and then tie a small piece of metal to the end of a string and poke it through one of the holes so you can hang it up. And then paint the eggs, of course.

    Not one that anyone would fall for, but I'd say it was great fun for them to film and it sounds like the best idea ever!

    How much chocolate have you eaten this Easter?

    I've only had a couple of chocolate pralines and about a quarter of an Easter egg. I think the idea of eating chocolate all day appeals to me more than the reality of doing it. :D

    I managed to finish off a Giant Cadbury's Egg and a small one all to myself over the course of the 4 days. I still have two more to get through as well. :o

    I honestly thought I'd make short work of them, but as you said sometimes the idea appeals more.

    I'm not much of a chocolate eater at the best of times, and when I do partake it tends to be that gorgeous white chocolate. Yum! My lovely wife bought me a scrumptious white egg this year which was 'painted' with different colours, each different colour being a different flavour. Ate most of it. Just a few remnants left now. And I'll almost certainly nosh them tonight :p

    Hello fellow elves! Do you put up an Easter tree? I got a present of painted eggs an ceramic bunnies from Switzerland years ago as my sis saw trees in the shop there. I put them away and as per usual I forgot where and my o/h found them on Sunday (16 yrs later:eek:). So I put mine up yesterday.

    All our Easter decorations got stored away again today for another year. Easter wreath for the hall door and various singing bunny and eggs along with a basket of Easter egg decorations and Easter trees (yes we have three Easter trees :) ) are all stored away for another year. Why not celebrate and decorate is my motto :D

    Usually something along these lines. Mine has little light as well. You can actually get a lot of Easter decorations in lots of the shops now.

    How would you improve current snacks or drinks to make them Christmas-themed?

    Have a great time!! :D

    It sounds lovely and by no means did I have to google Dubrovnik as everyone knows Dubrovnik (Croatian pronunciation: [dǔbroːʋniːk]) is a Croatian city on the Adriatic Sea, in the region of Dalmatia.

    :P

    Dubrovnik is supposed to be gorgeous. Have a lovely time.

    Have to wait until September for my holiday but we have the Cat Laughs to look forward to in a month so that will be fun.

    Does coming home to Ireland count as a holiday? I'll be back for five days in May - it's a bank holiday here in England and I've put an extra day on each end, which will be lovely because when you only have two days at home it's impossible to see everyone!

    Otherwise I haven't anything properly planned - I'm looking at going to Kenya at the end of August, but won't be booking anything for a few weeks
