Even as a very religious child I disliked Easter because we seemed to be constantly at church. I did however often have a new outfit to wear, or at least a relatively new one. I suppose the change of season to Autumn made a difference too as you would have been getting new Spring outfits.<br /><br />@cassmob from<br /><a href="http://cassmob.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Family History Across The Seas </a><br />Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-21196251134550145172016-04-07T00:27:59.704-04:002016-04-07T00:27:59.704-04:00I am sad that corsages went by the wayside, too. ...I am sad that corsages went by the wayside, too.
