Happy Easter!! We all have Easter traditions or memories,...are they basically the same? Please tell us about your Easter tradition or memories you had growing up. Easter at our house started the day before, when we colored eggs. We were poor, so many times we divided a dozen eggs 4 ways [4 kids].. We had our own easter baskets, and Sun., after church, we would hide and seek the eggs in the house, in the yard, or whereever, until the adults got SICK of hiding them!! Many times we had new easter outfits, but not every year. One year, my sister, mother and I had matching dresses.. that's okay when you're young, but I was a sophmore in HS and it was definitely NOT COOL!!! Mom would have her easter hat, and gloves, but I could never understand the whys!! While others had the dark chocolate bunnies in the baskets, I had to have white chocolate.. still do.. Our baskets would be filled with candies, our colored eggs, our bunny, and then some small 'gift'.. my favorite was the year when I got my first eyelash curler.. I was in H.S. We always had a basket, no matter how old we were... until we were grown and out on our own... Funny what you think of, when you remember back!! What was your Easter like? I especially want to hear from those who are.... uh.... over 65.. when you were young, what was the world like? What was your holiday like? Tell us about it!! If you know an Easter story from your parents, grandparents, etc., even better!! Let's hear it!! Lanita I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the JUNE flower.
