is easter a big deal in yr house?

[beth]

i read in the easter egg thread that some people don't get easter eggs anymore even at 13/14. in my house (regardless of age) we always get an easter egg (or an equivalent item) and we always do an easter hunt.

it's not that we're religious at all, it's just one of those things we've always done: though i suppose it helps that because my younger sister is 10 we still all chip in.

how about you? do you have any special traditions for good friday or the easter weekend. or is it just another sunday for you?

[shiver]

not really anymore, me and my fam have been eating easter eggs for ages now cos they're so cheap lmao

[Neversoft]

It's never been a big deal to me. Used to get easter eggs, then it went to money for a couple of years, now I don't really get anything. We've never 'celebrated' easter in any way, or done anything special on the Friday or Sunday. To me it's just an excuse to buy cadbury mini eggs.

[dirrty]

nope. i'm 20 and my sister is mid-teens so all the fun and games are over. don't go church either so i'll probably munch on hot cross buns and bout it rly.

[FlyingJesus]

Last year mum did an easter egg hunt thing like just sticky notes (3c in cat) saying stuff like YOU ARE THIRSTY, NEED A DRINK? and then the next clue is in the drinks cupboard or w/e and then eventually they were just in the dining room all along lol but usually no it's not a big deal. I don't understand people who get actual presents like oh it's Easter here have another PS3

[David]

Not BIG big but I get a couple eggs a year, nice to munch on when you get the craving :P
I remember doing egg hunts when I was younger, and used to roll all my eggs down the stair lol :D

[scottish]

not rli

get eggs but nothing else

[beth]

we did go to church a few times when i was little, mainly on good friday. but dad's given up on religion i think hahaha.

and eurghhh hot cross buns are mingin' behave yrself.

[Chris]

Not really. I get eggs and theres a small egg hunt but nothing spectacular. :P

[:odey:]

I was shocked as well when I saw that thread with everyone saying they were 'too old for an Easter egg now'

I mean, you're never too old for an Easter egg...

It's not a 'MASSIVE' deal in my family, but we do always have eggs, and a big Easter dinner, like Christmas dinner :o

[SackRace]

Nah my mum just eats all my chocolate eggs :(

[Jurv]

it's just like an ordinary weekend for me, nothing special.
i don't tend to get any eggs and usually ask for or get money anyway.

[Cerys]

It was when I was younger, but not anymore.

[GirlNextDoor15]

not even a small deal at all. what dya expect

[Charlie]

I don't think it's ever been a big deal. We use to get Easter eggs and then it swapped to we'd get a present or something small and then we got money. I don't know what is happening this year, I don't really care either to be honest.

[=Lizzy]

we always get easter eggs and have a meal with the rest of the family. I've grown up with easter eggs and love them so much :D
but easter isnt a big deal as none of us are very religious

[JerseySafety]

not a massive deal but we always get chocolate and usually go out for dinner.

[Sloths]

Easter egg each, nothing else related apart from bankholidays yay free money ;)

[geo]

Not really, my family usually come round though and we give the little ones their eggs and just eat at my house, ha. I usually get a few Easter eggs as well. :P

[Roxy]

we never do anything for good friday but we always have an easter egg hunt every year then go out to the pub. my cousins are coming down this year too so i assume we'll go out for a meal at some point as well :)

[Showder]

For my house, Easter is religious so practically I've gotta go to 7 churches tonight.
Bull****.

[Vause]

nah. we'll have a nice big sunday lunch and eat chocolate but my family really isn't religious and we don't celebrate it.

[Aiden]

We just eat chocolate. :P

[Samantha.]

We did when I was younger but after i was like 14/15 or something we stopped doing things like easter egg hunts and getting easter eggs. My mum tends to buy us a pack of 6 creme eggs but that's as far as easter goes in my house.

[Jordan]

We don't celebrate it, just have some chocolate. I don't think anyone in my family views it as a religious time of year now. Never been church for it either.

[garriet]

in my house we still get easter eggs, if i was going to my nans then we would have an easter egg hunt lmao, but otherwise we'd just get easter eggs! :)

[Hollie]

We never really do anything for easter. We get some easter eggs and thats about it :P I remember when I was little we did an easter egg hunt but I think that was only one year.

[orientalframe?]

we never do anything for easter, but we buy ourselves an egg each and thats basically it :P

[sammy]

we don't really do anything to be honest, i'm basically the only person in the house that ever gets an easter egg haha. we don't celebrate it at all particularly :P

[Paige.]

My whole household is atheist so all we care about is the easter eggs :)

[Aaron]

Nope we don't really go over board for Easter, just the normal thing put some eggs out and that's about it. :P

[Seikou]

we have a big dinner on easter sunday, that's all really haha and get mini eggs/cream eggs and stuff

[Jazz]

nah not really, it used to be but we dont care now lmao

[Kasabian]

I still get the odd egg, but easter has never really played a big part in my life - just free chocolate really.

Always used to smash my eggs over my head.

is that a black country thing or something. someone at college from telford used to do that aswell and we used to think it was ******* weird.

Telford isn't the black country, we avoid them. Get the **** out.

I think i've only been to church for easter when I was at primary school.

[beth]

Telford isn't the black country, we avoid them. Get the **** out.

SHUT UP YES IT IS.
probably gonna be done for pointless posting so i'll just add this in:

funny how commercialised easter is. no-one actually cares for the religious meaning but **** yeah easter eggs haha.

[Succubus]

No, don't do any Easter stuff!
Never been a big fan anyway..

[Samantha]

Nah we don't really do anything for Easter, when we were younger we used to do little things but saying that I'm 17 nearly 18 and my sisters 16 so it's sort of like we've grown out of it somewhere.

[Zahura]

Easter was never important in our house, easter eggs that's about it to be honest.

[Amberr]

nahh, even though its more of a deal for me this year as I gave up chocolate for lent. I am literally going to get so fat on sunday, i bloody can't wait!!

[Sharon]

just get an egg, try and do a hunt for my little sister though

[buttons]

my mums family are catholic but ever since they moved up here, where religion isn't popular, they've stopped celebrating pretty much everything. my gran and grandad used to go to church for readings on good friday (they don't celebrate mass during easter iirc), i went once or twice when i was younger and they fasted too, i got money not easter eggs. it's usually a normal day for me and my mums sisters and their families.
