Happy Easter
Today is a big day for kids in Sweden. It's the day they knock on doors and get candy, just like you do on Halloween. They dress up as nice witches, who are supposed to fly on their broomsticks to a place called Blåkulla, according to the tradition. Of course they don't fly away, but they still get tons of candy.
Found some pictures on google of some kids dressing up as witches:
As you can see that the scarf on the head, red cheeks and freckles are a must.
I remember getting home from school when I was a kid, making tons of easter cards. You see, if you want candy you need to give them an easter card in return. They mostly look like the picture at the beggining, with eggs, a witch, a chick or anything else that is easterish (it says Happy Easter on the card above). Of course you decorated the card yourself, so it was always one of a kind. Imaging making over 50 cards in one day. That's what I did so I could go to as many houses as possible. Meaning the cards were not that nicely made since I had to make so many of them =)
Happy Easter!!!!!
