What are Your Plans for Easter on Sunday?


Easter Sunday is like a second Christmas in my family. A big holiday where the family gets together and gifts are exchanged. Grant that as the kids get older the "Easter Bunny" part is not as big as it used to be.
For my part, being Catholic, I will attend the Easter Vigil mass, which takes place on Holy Saturday night. That will start at 8:30 and usually ends around 10.
The next morning, although the kids are too old to believe in the Easter Bunny anymore, we leave Easter baskets and some wrapped presents around the house. They will search them out and open their gifts. Then we have breakfast and go visit the maternal grandparents where a few more presents are exchanged.
Then after that head to my parent's house for a big family get together. At least 20 or 30 people and a big dinner. That usually goes to fairly late in the evening and then we head home.
As the kids attend a Catholic school - all are junior high school age a this point - we then have the whole week off. (I take the week off, too.) The rest of the week is then going to movies, going to the park and just having a great time. Outdoors as much as possible depending on the weather.
It is, without doubt, my favorite holiday. Wishing all a Happy Easter Sunday.
I will be in church Sunday morning celebrating Easter. It will also be only four weeks left to the date of our wedding. Sunday afternoon, the family will gather for a late lunch to celebrate my mother's 93rd birthday (which is March 31) and to also celebrate my nephew's 40th bithday (March 27.)
Thank you. Pray for me on Easter. You KNOW I don't want to see my evil sister but will do it only because it's my mom's birthday.
@OlderAndWiser What a Blessed Day and Event. Congrats!!! Love to You Both. xxoo
Thanks for MHO!
I am not religious, so I am all about the Easter bunny hopping in to leave me a basket of delicious and yummy candy! We don't have small children in the house anymore, they are all grown up, so no Easter egg hunts. We will be having a family dinner of ham, mashed potatoes, asparagus, deviled eggs, and crescent rolls. Yum!
@Hawkes_Lady Glad to see you back on here.
@Bricealan Thanks! I am glad I am over all the Covid symptoms... finally!
@Hawkes_Lady There are two more chapters of Dereck/Diane on your hotmail account? ! 👍👍👍
@Paris13 Nope, not in the slightest is it time for me to have a relationship with Christ. I don't push my non-religion on you or anyone else, and I would appreciate it if you or any other religious person didn't feel the need to push your religion on me.
I have my reasons for not believing in religion and for me they are understandable and they only need to be understandable to me. I am not in any way saying that you aren't allowed to believe what you want, just that you kindly don't push it on me, especially when I didn't ask for it.
I appreciate your opinion and your time to type out your message. I hope you have a wonderful day.
@Hawkes_Lady Good reply. I too, feel the same as you
will go to church in morning

Perhaps visit family although they are quite far away. Still no firm plans yet but that is not unusual for us. I am religious though. Last year I went to a dawn Easter Sunday service on the beach with a non-denominational church that I happened to wander into. My religious organization was up the street but in the dark I went to the wrong one but decided to stay as they all seemed nice. There were even a dozen or so surfers participating and some of the surfers even had their family on the beach on blankets. It was an awesome service and up-lifting.
Afternoon dinner at my parents place along with brothers and sisters with their families as well. Always fun and my mom is such a great cook. Dad is already filling the plastic eggs with toys and dollar bills which he will have hidden all over their backyard woods. I bring deviled eggs, mom will have a whole ham and lamb.
Go to Mass. Then go to my parents' house, where I will make our annual Easter frittata, meet my sister's new fiancee's parents, and smoke a cigar.
I've never do too much over Easter , and here in Thailand it will not be much of a thing , I used to play the same golf tournament every year and stay on site , that was always fun but was long ago , not sure that tournament still exists.
Me and my family will be attending church in the morning on Easter, then afterwards we'll spend a nice relaxing day at home just chilling and giving praise to the lord.
What will you be up to on Easter?
Invited to next door for Easter Sunday. I am having a table centerpiece sent from a nearby florist.
the breakfast with family and friends and then just spending time together
painting eggs, dinner with my hubby's fam maybe flying out to ohio to see mom and dad again before that!
Lunch with my family to thank God for everything.
Dunno, but likely there will be family plans. As long as booze and good vibes are involved, I'm in 😁
Confusing my Buddhist neighbourhood by suddenly showing an interest in coloured up eggs, perhaps.
... Paris.
That's actually my plan since years - but I always manage to forget about it.
His symbol hangs down from my neck.
Consciously and purposely :)
But thanks for the reminder...
I may decorate the eggs with crucifix's... or would that look offensive?
Hanging out with my boyfriend before he heads back home.
Update: I will be spending Easter alone. I have to go see him Friday and Saturday.
For now, like any other weekend. Sit at home, watch Netflix, eat candy.
lol yes for sure. How about you? x
Naa nothing much get my neice and nephews Easter eggs that's it
Don't know exactly what, by Sister's mother-in-law is visiting and will meet the new baby. We'll probably have a special Easter Dinner, not sure about an egg hunt though.
It will be a regular Sunday, like any other. We are not religious.
Spend time with my family eating chocolate, cakes and other delights.
Will do!! xx
Nothing special, because spring goddess doesn't accept any blood sacrifices.
Going to the cemetery to pay respect to our ancestors.
I have to paint my bathroom. Maybe do some grout work.
I'm not sure yet, maybe paint some eggs and go egg rolling.
I will, have a great Easter!
sleep late then watch some astronmy lectures, come here a bit to answer questions or polls.
Going to my niece's to be with her, my nephew, nephew-in-law, great-nephew, my niece's and nephew-in-law's boy cats and my nephew's girl dog.
Just chilling and spending time with family maybe eat a little chocolate but not a lot
Pray than sit with my family and enjoy a nice meal together and thank god for everything 😌
Thanks 🙂
We're just having my daughter and her fiance and my mother in law over for Easter dinner.
My sister and two daughters are coming over for dinner
Love you too, have a happy Easter
I plan on hanging with friends and family for an old fashioned Easter ham dinner. Easter egg hunt and candy of course 🐇🐣🥚
Easter bunny is going to be dropping by early in the morning no doubt. 😉👍
I usually go to Sunrise Service, but it is supposed to rain here so not sure.
I hope I get to stay at home most of the time, I'm sure I'll have to see my family though
Church then a cookout with music family and friends
Yes ma'am
Go to church. Since I move into a new city, I haven’t found a home church yet.
I will spend my time with family and eat a lot of food
Spending time with family having a fried chicken dinner (: and carrot cake.
Church, cook, eat, Easter and Sunday as usual.
Just to put up with it until it’s over. To me it’s just part of the longest, most boring holiday of the year.
Easter egg
Roast lamb, roast potatoes, vegetables
Sherry trifle
Cooking for six, I'll be busy
Sleeping in and maybe watch a televised or streamed Easter church service.
Will be sharing my testimony in church
I'll be at the beach
I honestly haven’t thought much of it. That’s bad since I’m saved. I might watch some of the Passion.
I might have to work.
Sunday?
@strateguy632
Yup 😞

Eat chocolate carrots.
Easter Brunch with friends.
Hopefully get to church, lunch with family.

Chocolate eggs stuffing!
Well here's my opinion on this , you can celebrate Easter how ever you like - but as for me , I'll celebrate the resurrection of my Saviour , Jesus Christ 🙏💖✝️👑 .
Getting dressed up and going to church
Nice quite day at home!
I haven’t made any. If there’s rugby league I might watch it. Other than that, I don’t know.
Stay at home and relax
