Easter Sunday is the cornerstone of the Christian Faith. But...this year, for the first time in more than 30 years, Easter, Ramadan, Passover and Vaisakhi all overlap. Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Sikhs will all celebrate at the same time. Easter is also thought of as a spring festival celebrating renewal, new beginnings, and the end of winter. It is commonly characterized by secular traditions such as the Easter Bunny, egg hunts, chocolates, and family gatherings.

Kinder Chocolate is named after Michele Ferrero, who created the brand in 1968. The name "Kinder" is German for "children," which reflects the brand's target market. Ferrero aimed to create a chocolate product that was palatable to children while also being reassuring to mothers due to its milk content.

WHO DOESN'T LOVE AFTER EIGHTS?

We, at Rob McIntosh, are so excited that Spring is just around the corner. In Lancaster this year, thousands and thousands of Snow Geese and Canada Geese have been flying overhead and resting on the beautiful St Lawrence River (which by the way still has a ton of ice in it). See photo below. The Geese do seem to believe that things are changing. We're going to agree with them. Life evolves continuously. In this season, we are changing our product mix to spring,
bringing in lots of new and interesting stuff for you to see (like our new beauty therapy room with Inis, Lemon & Lavender, and Naked Bee products). All our new Spring cards are in so you can send delightful messages to those you love in a very personal way (texting is great but it just doesn't have that special touch). Come and see. Have a coffee in our Polar Bear Cafe, have a gingerbread cookie to go with it, visit, relax and just let the energy of being spring wash over you. Then, of
course, you have to wander through the halls to see all the different new specials or just to have fun. Tilley has a great new selection of caps this year. Our 2027 Indigenous calendars are already here. I could go on and on but have a great Easter. Be happy and if you have time, do give us a review and tell us (hopefully) that you had fun. Til next time. Barb
