In two weeks it will be Easter.

What were your Easter traditions?

Our family had several.

First thing on Easter morning my sister, brother and I would race downstairs to see what the Easter Bunny brought.

Funny, how every year the baskets always looked the same with chocolate bunnies, crosses, and eggs. They had yellow marshmallow peeps, and jelly beans.
Nevertheless we loved them just the same.

Breakfast was an "egg smashing contest". That's when two people smash their dyed hard-boiled eggs together, end to end, to see which one cracks. It usually was mine.
We would feast on the peeled, dyed Easter eggs with vinegar. Yes, you put a slit in the top of the egg, pour some vinegar from a cruet in the slit and then salt the top. It's yummy try it.
We also had Mom's homemade, iced hot cross buns which just contained raisins, because no one liked candied fruit in them.

Then it was off to church services, dressed in our new outfits from hat to shoes. If the daffodils were blooming my sister and I had homemade corsages.

We went to church as a family every Sunday but Easter was special. The altar was adorned with white Easter lilies and the scent from them was heavenly.
The hymns we sang were special too, especially "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today", which says it all.

Then it was home for Easter dinner of baked ham and fixings.
We didn't have and egg hunt. My Dad started that when my sibs and I had our own kids. He loved to watch the tots search for the eggs.

Whatever your traditions enjoy them as a family while you still have each other.

We no longer have Mom and Dad and we surely miss them, especially on holidays.
