Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. The date of Easter therefore varies between March 22 and April 25. The exact origins of this religious feast day’s name are unknown, although some sources claim the word Easter is derived from Eostre, a Teutonic goddess of spring and fertility. Easter is really an entire season of the Christian church year, as opposed to a single-day observance. Lent, the 40-day period leading up to Easter Sunday, is a time of reflection and penance and represents the 40 days that Jesus spent alone in the wilderness before starting his ministry, a time in which Christians believe he survived various temptations by the devil. The day before Lent, known as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, is a last hurrah of food and fun before the fasting begins. As with Christmas, over the centuries, various folk customs and pagan traditions, such as decorating Easter eggs, egg hunting, the Easter Bunny, and the consumption of jelly beans and marshmallow chicks have become a standard part of this holiday. And to continue this festive observance, we offer our own Easter treat with this tote bag filled with seasonal treats; a plush Easter Bunny with Carrot, Easter Jelly Beans Cottage Lane, Easter Tootsie Rolls fruit flavors in a pillow box, an Easter Chewy Lemonhead & Friends Assorted Flavors Candy Box and of course, a Willy Wonka Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip Razzle Apple treat. And as an added treat – unlike most baskets that are forgotten afterwards – the kids get to use their tote bag for other enjoyable uses.
When you mention the holidays of Fall and Winter, one of the many images that come to mind are the festively decorated gift baskets that accompany everything from office parties and employee gifts to Christmas trees and family get-togethers. Historically, baskets were woven using the most appropriate materials that could be sourced locally (coincidentally, something we proudly cultivate at Bristol Farms). Gatherers used baskets for collecting fruit and other food while the hunters made use of them to store their catch of the day. This may explain the modern day use of baskets as gift bearers, particularly since gift baskets originally served the purpose of presenting organic gifts such as fruit, flowers and other types of perishables.
