Poor you it is one of the only Sundays we're closed so that is something to look forward to .

I am glad you corrected Jo chocolate, because I was about to ask you who she was .

I'm on a diet so no Easter Eggs for me, and it is half way through my sponsored slim do Defo no chocolate.. Much to Swampys disappointment.

But I might work Easter Sunday if Edward and Andy are because they are fun

Well I've brought my first two easter eggs for relatives on my partners side. I do see them quite often but I hate having to guess what it is they are interested in to buy the matching easter egg .

Actually I have to agree, generic easter eggs are the best if you haven't a clue about people and their likes. It is easy for us, Christy loves Hello Kitty so we get her Hello Kitty but she is only 3!

And anyway you missed St Patricks day! The only day when you are encouraged to go out get pissed and turn the night green .

So I thought instead of having loads of separate holiday threads to keep Rick happy we'll have one big one. I've merged them all and made them the 2013 thread, obviously it includes some of the 2012 threads but I decided to do it yearly after I'd merged them all (was going to make it holiday thread in general then changed my mind)

So next big holiday?

Anna did you know your birthday is a holiday this year

A little on Independence Day

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.

In a remarkable coincidence, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the only signers of the Declaration of Independence later to serve as Presidents of the United States, died on the same day: July 4, 1826, which was the 50th anniversary of the Declaration. Although not a signer of the Declaration of Independence, but another Founding Father who became a President, James Monroe, died on July 4, 1831, thus becoming the third President in a row who died on this memorable day. Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President, was born on July 4, 1872, and, so far, is the only President to have been born on Independence Day.
