I kept my friendly attitude into adulthood. The expert laughs at me and pulls out numbers and statistics, but I remember that Easter was always nice, warm and sunny. It’s only lately that it’s cold, rainy and unfriendly during the holidays.

Commando carolers

Currently, my role on Easter Monday is distribution. I give carols as gifts. They don’t even ask for entry. Our house does not have a good reputation in this regard. Ever since we moved in.
It was autumn, we survived the winter, a very snowy, Ladovian Christmas, and Easter came. The first team of carolers was even led by the then mayor, soon followed by our good friend. He was rubbing the pom pom and going after my wife to spank her. But he ran into a kung fu fighter. She tore his pom pom, he had a flimsy one, it was more of a stick, she easily broke the weapon against his knee.
