Easter is For Adults

Adults most often think about the true meaning of this holiday. Easter celebrates Jesus Christ’s resurrection, making it the most essential of all Christian holy days. However, today the meaning of the holiday is masked by painted eggs and bunnies. Easter can fall anytime between March 22 and April 25 since is occurs the first Sunday after the full moon. Easter is also related to the Jewish Passover in symbolism and it’s position in the calendar.
How does the rabbit and the eggs fit in? Well the rabbit is a well know sexual character of fertility. Religions linked with Babel associate the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar. The Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is associated with the moon. Therefore, the Easter bunny symbolizes the Mother Goddess and is connected with once a year Spring time fertility rituals worshiping the Mother Goddess.

Colored Easter eggs are a part of the festivities too that came from the egg which was a consecrated symbol among the Babylonians. The believed that a astounding size egg fell from heaven into the Euphrates River from which the Goddess Semiramis was hatched.
It makes you wonder how many of us truly think about the proper meaning of this holiday other than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It has become another retail holiday and very commercialized. In spite of it all, it is a time for families to come together and celebrate the day.

Kids love Easter gifts, candy and most of all the egg hunting which could take on a life of it’s own.

Kosher Hanukkah Gifts in Blue for YOU!!

On Hanukkah, which means to dedicate, the Jews regained control of Jerusalem and rededicated the Temple. After recovering Jerusalem and the Temple, Judah ordered the Temple to be cleansed, a new altar to be built and new holy vessels to be made. According to the Talmud, olive oil was required for the Temple’s menorah, which had to burn throughout the night for 8 nights. They only had adequate oil for 1 night. Miraculously it burned for eight days which was how long it took to prepare new oil for the menorah. Hanukkah is the celebration of this miracle.

Kosher comes from a entire set of rules that come from the Torah, which are awfully complex and explicity states which are allowed and forbidden. Animals must have cloven hoves and chew their cud. Fish must have fins and scales. Other types of food must be in part fixed by a Jewish person. It contrasts how closely people go by these requirements.

During the holiday season many Jewish people stick very closely to the rules of Kosher food. Therefore, it is important when chosing food to give to your Jewish friend and business partners that you consult someone that recognizes Kosher food requirement. Giving gifts to your Jewish friends during the Chanukah holiday season will illustrate that you respect their beliefs.

Basketsbyrita understands Kosher food and offers a few choices for gift giving. This year’s Hanukkah celebration takes place December 11 – 19, 2009.

Micro brew beer for a birthday YES

Happy birthday gift baskets to show you haven't forgotten special people in your life.
Happy Birthday to me Happy Birthday to me. Do you ever feel like almost everyone has forgotten your birthday this year. Well I always remind myself that I would be flabbergasted at how little other people think about me. It is one of those funny things that makes you feel dreadfully unimportant. Sorry  to say it is oh so true.

I think that being very busy is a curse when it comes to taking special care of important friendships. Time passes so rapidly and the next thing you know you have missed that friend, family member or top business associate’s milestone birthday. It is perhaps too thwarting to send a gift late, so you vow that it won't happen when their birthday comes around next year. I think about how hard it is to give a gift to someone that either has everything or is very picky. They are impossible.

That is why basketsbyrita has made so many beautiful choices for a happy birthday gift that will make gift giving easy for busy people to hastily send a birthday gift baskets. Our birthday beer basket is another one that often get sent to men for their birthdays. I am fond of celebrating life and what better way to do it than with a great birthday celebration gift basket.

Family, friends and business associates will be overjoyed when you discover basketsbyrita and their gift giving made easy process for sending gift baskets!

Now what about the rabbit and the eggs? Well the rabbit is a well know sexual symbol of fertility. Religions coupled with Babel link the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar. The Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is connected with the moon.
