    I don't know who all celebrated here. My family has always done a special meal together. We usually go to my grandma's but now that she is older, my auntie is taking over so we will be going to her place instead. I am find with that though cause she has a bigger house and a big yard. She is planning an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Love watching them look around for eggs and get all happy.

    Does anyone here have Easter plans?

    We don't do Pagan holidays anymore. Stopped when our children became teens. They're ALL grown now, eldest grandson as well. 😁

    This is something I am happy to see spread. I know about this. These so-called "Christian holidays" are bible stories with Pagan traditions. No one even questions it. I take part because I love my family and they enjoy it. If it was not for the togetherness of it all, I would have axed every holiday.

    We've ALWAYS sat down to dinner as a family, no matter who's house it is. Everyday's a holiday, as far as we're concerned. ❤😁

    That is a good mindset to have. We always did Sunday dinner together so when a holiday happened to be on a Sunday, it was just a bonus. We still do Sunday dinners but not everyone comes. Some family moved away or passed away, a lot smaller than it once was.

    I don't have my parents anymore, but my adult children, eldest grandson & all their friends would still come through every Sunday, when I lived in the Bay area.

    I wish more families did this. I have friends who think it is weird that my family still does Sunday dinners. It is how we stay in contact and make sure to make time to see each other. My youngest brother still lives with our parents but myself and my older brother moved out. He has a kid on the way so my mom is super excited about that. She wants to have big Sunday dinners with grandchildren all over the place.

    I became Mom & TT to all & they'd even come through after practice & games like, "Heyyyy Mom, what you cook"? 😁
