EASTER'S NEW TRADITION

Its great to have mum back home for easter, techincally today is easter so all the messages i got on friday should have read - Happy Good Friday ( somemouthful). This easter the house has had the least number of people, 3 girls only! I have grown up in a big family and holidays are to look forward to everytime, there is nothing as amaizing as family holiday drama... #nostalgia.

So we had a pajama party(ish) with a movie at the end. I loved the whole idea -even though i slept within the first 20 minutes of the movie- waking up in a weird place in the morning ( read sittingroom ) was fun especially when my mother (in her late fifties) beat us all and she was the last one lady standing as we snored mid-easter-movie-night. As the family grows smaller hope finally my folks will settle for one tradition that they can do all by themselves when i am finally moved out ...:-)

Everyone watches movies ( if you don't... then you should be) so here is a list of questions and answers about my movie mannerisms... what's yours?

1.What’s your favorite movie of all time and why?
The Color purple, Preety woman as always but i do love Sarafina and sound of music....., yes i love musicals so much.
2.What was the best movie you saw this last year and why?
Last year.... ( thats so last year!!) well i think Bridesmaids definately.... Tree of life, ghost protocal, hugo and  Harry Potter -deathly hallows ( it finally came to an end!!)... guess you can't just have one :-(

3.Who’s your favorite director?

10.Would you rather see a movie at the theater or at home on DVD?
Theater of course .. the big screen... 3D pocorn at the movies is always great ( what's the secret ingredient???) and better off with friends because they will watch it till it ends without leaving :-)))


This tradition has been there just not the whole idea over easter but it has survived on.... i shall pass it on, modify it make it livelier for my own home and hope that my children's children will have the same :-) Whatever traditions you have going to the coast, partying hard, eating mbuzi, spending time with loved ones. Always remember that easter's greatest and timeless tradition is to show love to others, as Christ did for us, what greater love than this. His atonement gave me a second chance. Lets show love to some one who needs it... its not too late.. yet.
