Easter

not one of my all time favorite holidays...the easter bunny would always bring us baskets & hide them in the house (away from the outside dogs!) while we were at church. then we'd go to grandma & grandpa's for a big dinner. the easter bunny always left us letters thanking us for being good girls, too.
I have over the years made my kids easter baskets, bought them easter gifts, had easter egg hunts, took them to easter egg hunts...the last few years I just throw the girl scout easter egg hunt & that's all the easter katie gets. except for the holiday joy of watching her mother o.d. on cadbury's cream eggs & peeps. no new dress, no sunrise services, no big family dinner. no cutesy easter basket. no adorable stuffed lambies & bunnies. she did pick out a chocolate caramel bunny at walmart this year. Easter is a religious holiday. I just don't celebrate it. in the same vein, Xmas is also a religious holiday, but you just CAN'T not have Xmas. honestly. unless you belong to a religion that prohibits Xmas. but that means you have to BELONG to a religion....
