Happy easter all, I am curious to know how everyone here celebrates Easter. I only buy/get chocolate eggs, but that's it.

I've been protecting my children rather fiercly from religion, so it's mostly just a happy bunny day celebration here. We dyed eggs last night, then after I put the kids to bed (Son, Justin, 6; daughter, Maddy, 4) me and my wife put together their easter baskets and put 'em in the living room where the kids would see them when they woke up....which they did and they loved 'em.
Now we're into the radioactive sugar-rushed state after a breakfast of candy and choclate, and in about an hour we will be heading over to my Mom's who lives about 5 miles away for a casual afternoon lunch with just my family.
Then I'm gonna bring 'em home, we'll play like fiends for a while, and hopefully I'll get 'em to sleep. Tomorrow is the last day of spring break for my son and my wife's birthday, so it's gonna be a busy couple of days for me.....
...but on Tuesday I'll get me first day off and it's the first one in about 2 weeks, I wonder if there will be anything online to chat about....

In the spirit of Easter I'll skip me usual vitriolic response and just say that I'm a little old for fairy tales and I don't see the point in teaching lies to my kids. (Honest, that's about the mildest I can get! )IST said:

Actually, I probably am.IST said:
But I'm working really hard at just becoming indifferent to it... :?
I'm a Christian but still have a total hard-on against organized religion (including Christianity).
That said, happy Easter to those who celebrate it. I miss my box of chocolate caramels my mom used to buy me when I was growing up.

Nope, I don't believe in that either.IST said:
But I still enjoy a good holiday just for it's own sake, and I never could figure out the connection between the religious celebration and reasons behind Easter and the way we celebrate with the easter bunny and eggs and such. (Same with x-mas, but at least I can dig the origins of santa in the old red-horned demon of old mid-winters day festivities time...but where in the heck did they get the easter bunny from? :| )
Either or, go with whatever works best for you and may we all enjoy the day in peace. 8)
