Is Easter special for you?

[miasmum]

Kaz's comment about Easter being over made me wonder what people actually do for Easter? Some seem to treat it almost like Christmas it would seem?

I can honestly say apart from Tim being here, it is no different to any other weekend. In fact most of the time I completely forget it is Easter, it is just nice to have a couple of days off, although I get Fridays off anyway, so I only got today extra.

It's just like any other Sunday here but with extra chocolate...plus the shops are closed

It's special for us as mum and dad are here and we have a lovely family day together.

All the Easter parades and processions make this a very festivial time - but that's par for the course in Spain.

Jo- all the shops here are closed on a Sunday..I really like it like this.

We didn't even have extra chocolate Jo

I didn't buy any eggs, Luke had a DVD.

Nothing special here - just a long weekend off.

Friday the girls were out with friends and we went to the allotment. Saturday was just a normal day. Sunday and today are spent at home simply because the traffic is so horrific we don't want to venture out in it.

A friend usually does a massive Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday and we usually end up taking food and drink and having a sociable afternoon but they are on holiday this year.

As a Christian Easter is special to me, but not to hubby and boys. I like to go to church if I can and will do a nice roast. I only buy a few chocs because we are not big sweet eaters. I like to decorate my table with spring flowers too

Not exactly special, but it is always rather peaceful.

It is certainly not the excuse for a blast or a knees-up that C'mas has become.

Peaceful is a good way to describe it WM

We always try to see family at Easter, that is what makes it special for me xxx

I understand that Kaz. We don't have any so that solves that one

Well we have Tim's mum and dad but they pop round every weekend to see Luke.
