APRIL FOOL´S DAY

THIS YEAR... Happy April Fools days from the set of House!

EASTER

Easter is the time for holidays, festivals and a time for giving chocolate Easter eggs. But Easter means much more....

Let´s have a look at this vocabulary:

There is a legend that says that ”An Easter Rabbit” or “Easter Bunny” brings baskets filled with colored eggs, candy and toys to the homes of children on the night before EASTER.
In England there is this tradition of Easter Bunnies and chocolate eggs.
