To decorate or not to decorate?
Easter has never been a big thing in my family. We would always go away skiing during the Easter holidays so the actual Easter celebrations sort of got lost in the excitement of heading down the snowy slopes. I’m not religious so haven’t seen is as much more than a few days off. And as…
