[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We still do an egg hunt with friends. Kids are 11. Aside from that we go to Church and have lunch with my in laws. If Church isn’t your thing I’m not sure why you are celebrating Easter.[/quote]

Because Easter, like Christmas, has evolved into a cultural celebration. Not just a religious one.

And posts like yours are an example of why we are no longer practicing. Geez. That last comment was not necessary.[/quote]
I beg to differ. Unlike Christmas, Easter is [u]not[/u] a US Federal Holiday. Here's a more in-depth discussion from [url=https://www.vox.com/2018/3/29/17168804/why-easter-celebrate-big-secular-holiday-like-christmas-bunny-egg-pagan]Vox[/url] of why Easter [i]is[/i] different.

In the spirit I think the thread was created.....we've also done egg hunts with Lego or "puzzle" pieces (depending on my budget!). We have a family friend who does an egg hunt with $ and the golden egg is indeed a prize. Even their adult children (along with grand and great-grands) participate. And baskets are still a thing just that the contents have changed. Still candy but gift cards, a new "Spring" t-shirt, & electronic accessories now grace the grass.

Then there's Easter Dinner. Gotta be ham. And a green bean casserole. Yum to the former, yuck to the latter but tradition is tradition. Every time I try something different (even if it's still green beans) or to omit it altogether, there's whining. Not worth it.[/quote]
