How does your Easter Sunday compare to Easter Sunday in advertising land?

[Oceans1000]

We don't go overboard for Easter, tomorrow we will be at church in the morning followed by an egg hunt at my parents and a roast. The marketing this year seems to have been worse than ever, with images of families feasting akin to Christmas! It all seems so OTT.
We are having roast Welsh Lamb (bought on offer in Aldi) with all the usual trimmings followed by a homemade raspberry cheesecake, the total cost for the food for 6 adults is just under £20 and there will be leftovers. We will have some wine too and that is about £6.00 a bottle.
We make a bit more effort than a normal Sunday but it won't break the bank.
What will you be doing tomorrow?

No big Sunday lunch here (DS1 will be working in the pub) and I haven't bought Easter eggs since the kids left nursery. Don't live near family and we're not religious so don't feel the need to meet up. So a nice day of pottering in the garden I hope

My favourite thing about Easter is that all you have to do for it is buy a few chocolate eggs. Christmas is a stressful nightmare so I'd be horrified if Easter went the same way.

We will be having lamb (but DS might only eat roasties and carrots), an egg hunt (maths related as they are 11 and 8) and going to church.

However DH needs to finish replacing the glass DS broke in a rage and the DCs have asked to go to the inflatables that are set up in the park, I don't think that's in the ads!

Church, easter egg hunt with nieces and then roast dinner at my mums. The kids get a few eggs each and about 24 (tiny ones) in the hunt that I expect to still be here at Halloween!

No forced fun here. Easter eggs for DC and a very normal day!

dunno. Don't watch adverts.

It is my favourite day of the year. Like Christmas but less expectation and in Spring. We don't see family, just us and the kids, egg hunt in the garden, nice dinner.

It's a normal Sunday in this house except there will be chocolate eggs

I'm not religious but it's interesting people saying "I'm not religious" to explain why they don't do anything (which is fine by the way). Yet people rarely say "I'm not religious " as a way of not celebrating/doing Christmas 🤔

Church, roast and walk, same as every Sunday.

Well my teenagers will be given an Easter egg, I have my ex in laws over for a Persian lunch then I'm considering nipping over to France after lunch as my father is dying and it's sounds very imminent. Not exactly Hallmark material.

Normal Sunday here but I have an excuse to eat my body weight in chocolate 😁

Whats interesting to me about this thread is the adverts comment. My parents are an immigrant and the child of immigrants, from somewhere that doesn't celebrate Easter and we aren't Christian. We mainly learnt how to 'do' Easter and Christmas from adverts and the marketing 😁

Very quiet for us , we usually go to my sisters for a lamb roast but our dog has been very unwell this year so we can’t go . I’m the only one at home that eats roasts so I’m doing a chilli , however my husband is going over to cut my sisters lawn so she is going to send me home what’s left of the lamb - yum .

I posted a thread recently about the pressure of doing certain things for Easter - well we’re not having lamb for starters! Well not roast lamb! I’m making a Gordon Ramsey shepherds pie in the morning whilst DH cleans out the rabbits as usual, then in the afternoon we’re visiting DF & DM for DF’s 85th birthday. I have an egg, DD14 had bits from Amazon & I bought DH a big bar of fruit & nut. DF has a giant fruit & nut egg for his birthday & I bought DM a gerbera.

We are on holiday in Devon so we've got rolling hills, sheep, ducks etc. We are having a traditional roast lunch tomorrow and dc1 and I are being easter bunnies for the little one tonight and will hide eggs to be found in the morning.

So fairly like the ads. No extended family though

It is like any normal Sunday for us, but there will be a lot more chocolate. We never have a proper Sunday dinner and won't be doing so tomorrow. No visitors and no plans to go to anyone else. We don't celebrate Easter other than eating the eggs.

Clean the bathroom, potter around the garden and a baked potato with beans for dinner.

The things we always do are:

Easter egg hunt for DDs in the garden in the morning.

Roast dinner for lunch.

Eat the Easter chocolate in front of a film in the evening.

Egg hunt in the morning, pack up and travel home, unpack and wash as much as I can.

DH is camping and hiking, not something I wanted to join him on so I am home alone and will watch telly, potter in garden and eat chocolate- very nice. We will have lamb on Monday.

Easter eggs first thing, sandwich lunch, something I rustle up in the evening.

same as most weeks.

We do make an exception and watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory at some point though.

When the kids were wee we painted hard boiled eggs,went egg rolling in the local park, had an egg hunt etc. Then roast lamb and all
the extras.

Now they are grown up it will be Sunday lunch at Grandma' at 1pm for anyone who can be bothered to turn up. Chicken,as lamb is too expensive. There will be a chocolate egg each.
We will do the crossword and get tipsy. Job done.

Just the two of us and our dogs do our Easter Sunday will be a long lie in, then a nice breakfast and a long walk with the dogs. Afterwards we'll relax then have a lamb roast at dinner time.

I bought a large leg of lamb for £24 and my brother (chef) boned it out for me, we are using half of it as there will only be 6 of us and the rest is in my freezer. Most of the veg were bought for 19p each (potatoes. swede, carrots, parsnips) and I had cabbage and green beans in my Lidl £1.50 veg box yesterday. Homemade roasties, gravy and yorkshire puds.
For the cheesecake, I used wonky raspberries £1.79 from Morrisons, double cream and Morrisons Savers cream cheese. The base is rice crispies and chocolate. It cost about £5 to make.
