DH and I aren't very religious people, although we were both raised in extremely religious homes (he was Catholic, I was Protestant). Every year we get invited to his parents' house for Easter dinner, and I have to say, it is my least favorite holiday.

At least at Christmas, there are nice decorations and gifts exchanged, but Easter is all about the religion (at least for his parents). Last year, they did an Easter potluck style of dinner and invited all the extended family in the area (my husbands uncle, aunts and cousins). The food wan't that great and the whole event felt awkward. I sat at a table with a couple of the aunts, and they were saying how they felt so bad because they didn't decorate their houses for Easter this year. I didn't even realize people go all out for Easter decorations, so silly me said something like, "I never decorate for Easter. I think Christmas is the bigger holiday, right?" They looked at me in horror and said, "Without Easter, there would be no Christianity. It's the most important holiday there is!" If DH's parents wouldn't flip out, I would totally skip Easter dinner at their house. Anyone else have religious family that make holidays uncomfortable or awkward?
