As good mood and if one has to meet the wider family and pass pleasant moments with her, many times the "happiness" does not even pass through the hand.
Moreover, the Greek family has the characteristic of "we do not together and apart we can". What do we do, to pass pleasantly, without being bored and mainly ... lossless Easter holidays;
Holidays with interest ...

2. new proposals
Do something you've never done before. If you are of the types, necessarily spend your entire day in professional and family obligations, try these days to try a new activity.
Do not waste your free time, sitting on the couch watching TV. Such that all the other days of the year, watching the same television repeats (again and again). Look for new experiences and include in it the family and friends (if you want, of course).
3. Book, the best friend
The famous excuse "I love books, but where time reading ", It may seem a little void these days. Take your favorite books or those continually put off to read, Build a delicious cold coffee, sit on the porch or in your nearby park and enjoy one of the most relaxing and pleasant occupations.

Moreover, before lunch sooner finished, all would have loved each other again.

just remember, that this is a "chance" that it would be wise to make a habit, because people in institutions do not stop there after Easter.
... and almost inexpensive
If you are concerned (and not unfair), that the days of the holiday are now for the "haves", we will disappoint you or at least try to suggest alternatives, in order to stay within budget.
In the first place (to be honest), natural interruptions 'need' to spend more money than,what would you do a simple daily. Once you accept this, the next step is to try not to go (so much) out of schedule.
How is this going to be done;
1. We set the limits
The money, that can reasonably spend on gifts is money no return, of course. Decide how much you can spare, after removing the amount required to meet your needs. Easter this year 'falls' – unfortunately or fortunately, yet unknown- Earlier this month, so it's easy to get carried away in a waste. Keep in mind, that should leave aside the money until 31 May.
2. Make a list
Because it is… Christmas and you're not Santa Claus, think, that you can be thrifty on gifts. The seasons go the "golden 90s", the high consumption. Let each make your own list of people wanting (and not to) to make their own gifts and we accordingly do.
3. DIY; Why not;
When you end up in the list of recipients of your gifts, think or look for cheap alternatives. Visit countless bazaar, They made these days and is rich in all kinds of imaginative, Easter gift for each pocket. The expensive moreover, not necessarily good. If again, your finances do not allow, create something yourself. The phrase "the thought counts" has finally become reality.
4. Treat time
Parents, his / her companion, the children, friends do not need gifts, but your precious time. Take them the "expensive" is good and your holiday, certainly will change meaning.
5. The feast
Sure, Easter feast it is without. But when finances are squeezed, what is the solution; Here, once again comes the "family" to save your.
Whether your immediate family, or a social circle, who considered your family, Give them your time (see figure 4) and… in return enjoy an Easter meal with plenty of food and drinks. Fair exchange is not you; And do not forget, (the family name always) To purchase and leaving the necessary ... taperakia. It is the big month May.
Do not forget of course, To offer you something in Easter table. Be sure to make a sweet or buy any of the foods or drinks, to be offered.
6. Scrooge Easter; The truth is that, Any advice you give someone, the economic situation is "tight" and certainly not going to change in the coming days.
So in looking "magical solutions" are pointless and only serve cluttering gray matter, energy and above all, your mood. Do not let your finances to turn you into "Easter Scrooge" and resist economic stress, even on those days.
Spend time with friends and family (where is, there will arise the economic discussions but patience) and just allow yourself to enjoy a few days of relaxation, away from the stress of everyday survival. And by week, everyone to return to their own financial "stress".
