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.

we don't do anything, dh family are muslim, my family are agnostic so never celebrated it

We always go to in laws for Easter. We'll have a lamb roast dinner and do an egg hunt in the garden. It's nice, we enjoy it. It's also my birthday so double joy for me and then we're off on holiday! ✈️☀️

No "easter" activities might go see Kung fu panda or if weather OK will go somewhere outside.
Probably having a curry tbh

Easter Egg hunt in the garden for the children and then treat the day as an opportunity for a family day out . No fancy Christmas style dinner due to the amount of chocolate consumed . Also don’t see extended family although we will at another time during the school holiday

DD and I are going to the Ideal Home Exhibition. Have the family coming for lunch on Monday. We don’t really do Easter at all.

Going to stay with in laws and my son is flying in from abroad.
Church in the morning, lamb for dinner, Easter eggs, board games, just lovely time together. I am so excited to see my son!

Easter is like a nicer, less stressful version of Christmas IMO.

We will go to my father's place on the coast, have roast lamb and red wine for lunch, everyone gets an Easter egg, then we'll have a long walk along the beach afterwards.

Just another Sunday here too.

Not religious, but the kids get eggs from the Easter Bunny. Which means it'll be an early wake-up. One of us will then distract the kids whilst the other hides eggs outside for a hunt. I'm hoping after that one of the kids will make pancakes for breakfast and there will definitely be coffee!

My plan after that is to take the dog for a long walk locally (no driving) and end up somewhere for coffee / cake / lunch depending on the time.

Dinner will be a 'nice' dinner but not a Sunday roast or anything too fancy. Maybe Toad in the Hole or Fajitas.

We usually host DH’s family but for various reasons we are not seeing them this Easter
general plan is Easter hunt in the garden first thing then as the forecast is good we are going to do a nice walk somewhere. But other than that it will be a fairly normal Sunday other than the fact that I won’t be going to sainsburys because it’s closed.

not planning special food- we’re vegetarian- but have bought more than usual treats to keep us going all weekend

Easter eggs for the teens, grown out of the hunts I used to do for them.
DF coming for lunch but not because it's Easter. Will probably do a rich beef stew and veg so I am not tied to the kitchen. Dd 17 is working.
Never had a big Easter growing up just fun with the egg hunt and bonnet making.

Easter egg hunt for the kids in the garden then take the dog for a walk on the beach.
Roast lamb for dinner- got some friends coming round to eat with us. Just a nice relaxed day hopefully and even better if this sunshine continues.

Enjoying 4 days off work!

Have my Dad coming and we'll do a pork roast as he doesn't eat lamb. Kids have got Easter eggs.

Other than that, I'm just using this time as a reset for work as it's really awful at the moment. Very busy and facing redundancy so stressful and I can feel myself starting to crack under the pressure.

Im doing Absolutely fuck all apart from a roast. Which i do every Sunday anyway. I just don’t get the announcement of cooking a roast at Christmas and easter like its a competition.

None of that easter egg hunt (kids are too old anyway and never did it),

It’s a bit like Christmas for our family as we will always get together to do something except Easter is more relaxed and we tend to do something different each year. This year one of my siblings is hosting (parents, 6 siblings and partners and 5 nieces/nephews) and we’re having pizzas from a local Neapolitan pizza restaurant. All the kids in the family receive an Easter eggs from the adults.

Your Easter sounds lovely OP.

Unfortunately DP is working on Sunday, (and today and tomorrow and Easter Monday!)

I have a ten and 1.5 year old, so one too big for an egg hunt and one too small! So their eggs will be on the sofa with a new book each. DP doesn’t start work until 4:30 so we’ll have our roast dinner at lunch time instead of tea time. I am making a lemon roulade for pud.

Family have all popped round today so it will be a quiet one for us tomorrow.

My kids are 18 and 20 now. My birthday is tomorrow but my son is working and coming up late that night (he lives away) so we will be doing a joint birthday/Easter this year, which really just means the addition of a birthday cake!
We don't do anything special in the morning (was an egg hunt when younger) but we will have roast lamb for lunch, followed by this amazing carrot cake the kids will make in the morning. Then a movie. I'm a widow so i do the roast with trimmings. Ive got us an egg each.
I remember growing up my mother had these special handpainted plates we used for Easter.

My husband is the organist at our church so by Sunday he is a bit tired. 😁 Love Easter Sunday music at church. Very joyous. Easter eggs afterwards. 😋

Dd2 will have her Easter egg. She's 15 so I'm hoping I can get away with not doing clues for her to find them like I have every other year! DD1 is coming back from uni in the evening so we'll have a roast then, mainly cooked by OH. Other than that it will be a normal Sunday. Don't have any other family to visit

We almost always go away with the kids for a couple of days over Easter. We sightsee a bit, play games, eat and go to mass. This year we are in Tuscany which is only about 90 minutes from home but it's nice to wake up somewhere new!

Looking forward to it! I don't usually do anything for it but my illness seems to have come to an abrupt end so I'm off to see friends and have a lovely lunch

I have never viewed it as a celebration or even a holiday really and don't remember doing anything for it as a child beyond receiving Easter eggs.

I love Easter. I agree t. That is a less stressful Christmas.. the sort of thing Christmas should be.. all about being with family or friends and enjoying time together with out the commercialism.. we are having a Sunday lunch out with adult kids, my best friends family and DHs best friends family .. no prep, no present hassle just fun

I'm working. My daughter is with her dad. It's a normal Sunday. Except for eating too much chocolate!
