Tell me about your Easter Sunday.

[Clumsywithwords]

I love Easter, for me it’s like a less stressful Christmas.

I have 3 DC, all but one teens but we still do an annual Easter egg hunt with friends, DH cooks a leg of lamb and makes his famous mini egg cheese cake.

The girls come down to a little bundle of eggs and pair of riding socks (evolves from me always getting some white frilly socks when I was little with my eggs)

Sometimes we have family visiting which is nice (I’m weirdly selfish with Christmas but gregarious with Easter)

We often do a cocktail to have mid afternoon and a tacky bonnet making competition or similar and it’s all round just a lovely day.

Id love to hear how everyone else spends their Easter Sunday.

Sounds lovely. Not doing anything out of the ordinary. Enjoy yourselves

Nah none of that fuss!

Never heard it compared to Christmas before!

As a church chorister it's a 10.30 service where we get to sing joyful music again after all the reflective Lent stuff. Then back home for roast lamb and a walk in the afternoon with the dogs. DCs are grown up so no Easter egg hunts now!

It's a diy project push day including painting, grouting, hanging a radiator and staining a wooden shelf. Chicken sandwiches for lunch and pizza for dinner for us heathens and Easter eggs devoured throughout.

@Desecratedcoconut that sounds like a day well spent!

No fuss, no forced jollity!

Sounds lovely.
I will be all alone as DC will be with their dad. I'll have a day of chores and chocolate and tea.

I'm EO so our Easter isn't until May. We've just started Lent so no chocolate eggs for us this Sunday. It's just a usual church service.

A long training walk for London virtual marathon

Not religious in the slightest here.

Sunday we are going to a farm that only opens to the public, about, 10 days a year, with the grandchildren.
It's turning into a bit of an easter tradition, be 3rd Easter in a row!

They do an egg hunt there, then we have one at home too.

Not sure what the dinner plans are, if they're all staying maybe Xmas Dinner #2 .
I'll have to chase that up.

A friend of mine is cooking a lunch on Sunday and has invited all us 'girls' round. She's a great cook and we're all really looking forward to going.

We always have a Christmas dinner if you know what I mean! Turkey pigs in blankets etc. Couple of puddings and cheese . Decorate the table and little Easter crackers. Used to do an Easter Egg hunt for our 2 children but now do one for our granddaughter. Family all around for lunch and then exchange Easter eggs and do the egg hunt. My parents always made it special and I've followed suit.

Normal day for us. We don't eat Easter eggs so nothing Eastery at all.

I usually work on Sundays, 4.50 am start, so it will make a nice change for me.
I was hoping to potter in the garden but weather not looking too good.
I will probably cook a nice roast and have a relaxing day.

Egg hunt for the kids,a roast dinner and spend the rest of the day just chilling at home.
My perfect kind of day

Eggs at breakfast (some chocolate, some dyed). Seeing my mum in her nursing home. Watching the Boat Race. Then going to see dp's parents for tea.

I'm working Monday unfortunately but it will be a nice weekend.

Sounds nice.

We just exchange eggs and are going to my parents for a roast chicken dinner.

I’m hoping to be sorting out a revamped garden border and enjoying the indulgent Easter egg I’ve treated myself to. Probably a nice dinner with lamb and new potatoes and mint sauce but nothing else.

Sounds lovely @Clumsywithwords .

We are taking the DGC out to some gardens for the day (likely to be very wet but we have wellies) and then Dh is cooking roast for us, dd, Sil and dgc.

Me and DP will have quite a chilled one. Going to my dad's in the afternoon for a bit of food (not a sit down meal), but other than that, we plan to chill, watch TV and eat chocolate. He is on call so we can't drink, or go too far, so we're quite limited, but it's meant we can have a weekend together which is precious and will be great (unless he's called out 30 times haha).

We have family coming over in the morning for brunch, I'll do some pastries and fruit with tea and coffee. Then we do an Easter egg hunt for DS (the adults join in too😂)

When everyone's left we'll probably go for a little seafront walk then home to cook a roast.

There's something about Easter Sunday I just love!

If I'm with my extended family, we'll go to church (lapsed Church of Scotland here), but if it's just me and OH, hot cross buns for breakfast, a big old walk, followed by a nice lunch about 2pm, then old-school bank holiday films (Indiana Jones, Ice Cold In Alex, Back to the Future, that sort of thing).

Maybe a nice bath. Some cocktails.

I much prefer it to Christmas. None of the wistfulness, expense or pressure of Christmas but time off work and an excuse to eat lots and see family. Plus it's in spring.

I do an Easter egg hunt for DS and usually we'll get together with the extended family and that's it.

Meeting at BIL pm for buffet lunch and egg hunt for Granddaughter.
I might cook a roast on Monday. Easter very low key in our family.

I love Easter in the sense of it being a long bank holiday. I am more pagan than anything, no interest in the Jesus bits of the weekend. I will be doing a lot of admin for my business while it is quiet, getting on with a craft project, going for a long walk with a friend and possibly doing some work in the garden if the rain stops for long enough. DH has plans for some DIY.

It is far better than Christmas as easier to ignore and less pressure to participate in some way.

Just another Sunday to us! We will be out walking somewhere.
