[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point no one in our family has children young enough to still believe in the Easter Bunny and, heck, a third of the group isn't even Christian but we never let little things like the details get in the way of a good time so we celebrate Eastover in honor of our Catholic and Jewish contingents.

Everyone gets an Easter basket.  Children's baskets have candy.  Tween and teen baskets have a chocolate bunny and then kid specific stocking-stuffer types of things.  All adults also get a basket with a bunny and person specific stocking-stuffer items.

We have 2 Easter egg hunts:  1 for the kids and 1 for the adults.  The kids hunt for eggs.  The winner of the kid hunt gets a trophy.  The trophy is a banged-up messy 20-year-old thing with a hand-made sign affixed to it declaring the kid to be the winner of the XXX Family Easter Egg Hunt and it is highly, highly coveted.  The winner gets to keep it for a year and then brings it back for the next Easter Egg Hunt to present it to the new winner.

The adult hunt is killer and you have to be 12 or over (confirmed or bar/bat mitzvahed).  There is big money in the hunt and last year's winner made $201 because he not only got the highest value egg (one egg at $50) but he found the Lucky Double egg that doubles the value of your highest egg.

Wow, your family celebration is far better than mine ever was!  We got $ in a card from my grandparents when we outgrew the baskets or didn't need two Easter baskets, but your egg hunt for $ is so much more exciting.  I've been to neighborhood egg hunts but the most they put in the eggs was $1 and the $ was mixed with the candy so there was no big potential for much $.

Glad I was not the only one who got small gifts.  I feel weird now after writing my post.
