Celebrate Easter with Chinese lanterns

As we gear up for Easter, the shops are filling with bunnies and fluffy chicks, delicious cakes and other sweet treats, not to mention the delicious array of chocolate eggs available for us to salivate over. Magazines are full of lovely recipes to treat your family and friends to on Easter Sunday, and the kids are getting excited about when the bunny himself might pay them a visit. It is all too easy to become swept up in the hype of it all, and forget the real reason we celebrate this special day. If you’re looking for a new, unique and exciting way to give thanks this year, why not gather your family around for the release of Chinese lanterns, and see how they get into the spirit of the occasion. Whether you’re looking for a way to introduce the story of Easter to young people in you family, or just for a reason to get everyone working together in a group activity, Chinese lanterns provide the perfect excuse. You might even want to decorate your lanterns with a unique Easter message to send into the night sky.
Do you have photos from a family occasion which included our Chinese lanterns? If so, and you’d like to share your pics with us, please do get in touch. We always love hearing from you.
