Easter Baskets
In the early 1900s, Sunday lunches were loaded into baskets because churchgoers enjoyed fellowships after their Easter worship services. Candy was not as available as it is today, but some children did receive hard candies and sweet goodies. Today, children mainly receive Easter baskets filled with holiday candies, toys and gifts. If you plan to fill some Easter baskets this year, add personalized gifts and special treats that will delight the young and old.
