[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We never did Easter Bunny but did do a spring egg hunt.  Small bag of treats at the end, and they liked the scavenger hunt. Allowed them to still tell friends they got an "Easter basket" and didn't feel so left out.[/quote]
I'm really confused by this.  How does one "do the Easter Bunny" that doesn't involve hunting for eggs, getting treats, or a basket?  Seems like you do all the key parts of the Easter Bunny ritual, what do you think you're leaving out?[/quote]
NP here.  I'm guessing the part where you tell the kids the eggs and basket were left by the Easter Bunny?

OP, to answer your question, if you aren't religious ask yourself why you celebrate or acknowledge Easter at all...and then let that be your guide as to what to do.  I'm not Christian, but my parents best friends were extremely religious Christians. We celebrated most Christian holidays with them, which meant joining them for a nice meal at which they cooked some traditional (to their culture) dishes after they returned from mass at their Church.  DH grew up Christian in a family that isn't all that religious. He is now agnostic, and doesn't feel strongly about any Christian holidays.  His family has a lot of secular Christian traditions they observe, but the only Easter thing they seem to do is send Easter baskets (from them) to their grandkids.  Having grown up in a very religiously Christian part of the country, I always find it odd how many people celebrate Christmas and Easter as Christians without going to church, but everyone is free to do their own thing.  In this case, just do whatever feels right related to Easter for you.[/quote]
