As far as holidays go, Easter might not be as popular as Christmas or Halloween, but it still has traditions and treats that can raise anyone’s spirit, mood or blood sugar level.
The most interesting part of this annual celebration of Spring and rebirth is the supposed difference in the ways they are celebrated.
As a way to celebrate Easter and mark April as the “Month of the Military Child,” First Lady Michelle Obama visited hospitalized vets and their families at the Fisher House on Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD., today.
You may have seen the story about cops posing as panhandlers to catch people using their cell phones while driving. But have you heard about the officers who are donning bunny costumes to nab motorists who aren’t buckled up?
So, what in the name of Easter is going on?
The White House Easter Egg Roll is a tradition that goes back to 1878. In the beginning, the event was mostly just the roll itself, with children pushing painted eggs through the White House Lawn with a long-handled spoon.
But these days, it is much more than that. Now it’s a 11 hour event that about 35,000 kids and their parents attend.
