a day to eat ham with family. and chocolate. AND IT'S CADBURY MINI EGG SEASON.
-
Celebration of Spring! And one where "celebrate" means eating lots of delicious chocolate bunnies!
-
I wasn't raised in any religion and DH and I aren't religious. I did grow up celebrating Easter mostly as a celebration of spring and a time to get together with extended family for an egg hunt/candy/dressing up/dinner. I am still not sure what Easter will look like for our family now that we have a LO though I do think we will celebrate in some form.

@JessKas: I have vivid dreams about those glorious purple bags!
-
We will hide his basket from the Easter bunny. That's about it! We don't even get together with family or have a big dinner.
-
Same as Christmas, secular holiday.
-
Both DH and I grew up episcopalian, but we no longer attend a church or have that affiliation...and I'm not sure we will again. Neither of our families do much, I'm not sure we will even do an Easter basket until he's old enough to do an egg hunt...we haven't even talked about that!
-
I haven't celebrated Easter in years by going to church. Usually it just means ham dinner, but even that hasn't happened in a while.
-
Similar to Christmas - it's just another Holiday to get together with family (and sometimes we just skip it).
By the way - how Pagan is Easter anyway?? It's on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox!
-
Oh, and to answer someone else's question - both my parents are Agnostic and raised us Agnostic, but we still celebrated Easter because THEY were both raised Christian and celebrated it! But I have never celebrated the religious aspects of it - just the eggs, bunnies, family aspect of it.
-
I was raised celebrating secular Easter, which meant I got an Easter basket and we had a nice dinner. As an adult it's pretty much the lowest on my personal totem pole of holidays. Since I've been with DH we usually celebrate with DH's extended family because they're religious and put on a nice dinner and it's not much of a holiday in my family. And my parents live 3 hours away and I don't deem Easter a big enough deal to travel for.
In the future I'll make a basket for DS and we'll still probably do dinner with the in-laws. But no church for us.
-
It's just a four day weeks for us. I'm not even entirely sure when Easter is this year.
-
Right now we don't celebrate it at all-- but I definitely have a stash of Easter candy in my kitchen. When we have a little one it will be a low key celebration of spring but I will explain what it means to others. Mostly, I feel like a Scrooge taking the egg hunt, Easter bunny and basket out of it since around here all of their friends will celebrate so we will just celebrate in our own way. Perhaps we will make it a gardening day depending on when it falls to really make it a spring type celebration.
