What are your Plans for Easter next Sunday?
Voted D. Easter Sunday is my favorite holiday, by far. It is like Christmas only in far better weather. So it will be pretty big.
We decorated the house for our three children. We have pastel colored lights around the windows and along the roof line. Plus a giant inflatable Easter Bunny pushing a cart with eggs in it. The Bunny is lit from the inside. We have a wreath on the front door with an Easter theme - flowers and colored eggs and a couple of Bunny figures, and suchlike. Plus we have all sorts of Easter decorations on the inside, including a whole figurine Easter village on the fireplace mantle.
On Good Friday, we will color Easter eggs and makes baskets for Bumpa and Munga - grandma and grandpa (my gfd's parents) - who we will visit on Easter Sunday. My parents live in Michigan and we see them every other year, but not this year.
On Saturday night - we are Catholic - my girlfriend and I go to the Easter vigil mass. We take the kids but our church provides a play center and rest area as that would be a little long for them at their ages.
Then on Easter morning, the kids will get up and look for the baskets that the Easter Bunny brought, plus he also brings wrapped gifts and hid them all over the first floor of the house - in closest, behind chairs, etc. So the kids have to hunt for those and then unwrap the presents. The only hard part is that the kids are not allowed to eat any Easter candy that morning. (Though occasionally, strict disciplinarian that I am, daddy will pass the kids a few candies "under the table." girlfriend rolls eyes.)
We then go to Annapolis - we live in the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC - in the afternoon for the first ice creams of the spring. (There is an ice cream store right in the middle of town where we go every year.) Then we walk the city and sometimes - not always - we will take a tour of the Chesapeake.
We also added our own tradition of driving across the Chesapeake Bay bridge - and then back across - "breaking the seal on beach season" we call it. Then we go into Annapolis to walk around and maybe take a bay cruise.
Then we go to her parent's for a huge dinner party. On average about 30 or so friends and relatives. My gfd's parents live out in the Blue Ridge so it is quite a ride, but worth it - and the kids are happy because they get to see their cousins and, whadda ya know, the Easter Bunny dropped something at Bumpa and Munga's house too!
The party goes late into the evening. (This year might be smaller and shorter due to the pandemic.) However, we send our kids to Catholic school and so their Easter break runs from Good Friday through the week after Easter. So they can sleep in Monday morning - my girlfriend and I also take Monday off if we don't get it - and have a whole week to play in what is usually pretty good weather.
As I say, it is all the fun of Christmas but without the blaring in your face television commercials, the lousy cold weather, and the garish colors. (I much prefer Easter pastels to Christmas primary colors.)
So as far as I am concerned we can dispense with all the other holidays. As to my kids, (ages, 9,8, and 6) I have to admit that seeing their excitement at any of the holidays always warms my heart - but I still have to admit that when I think back, even to my own surprise, it is the Easters that I get the most sentimental about.
Put it all together - family, church, the Easter Bunny, friends and food. It has it all.

Going to sunrise Easter church service at 6 o’clock in the morning
In my town we some paint rocks with cute pictures and designs and hide them around town all year long. Me and my friends are going to try and start that again since it stopped when covid hit.

None of the above , Easter Sunday means nothing here , it also means little in Australia , just a good day for sport , means nothing to me.
And I would certainly NEVER put into my body , a chocolate fake egg , filled with sugar and fat. -

Due to extensive family confusion for the next seven weeks, we celebrated Easter today, on Palm Sunday.
On Easter, we get to rest - hopefully. -
When I was living in my previous state, I always either had people over or was at my brother’s. Now here in my new state, I will most likely go out with a daughter or stay home.
