Easter for the Not So Nonbelievers

I grew up as a catholic, so celebrating Easter was  the norm, growing up. The whole family would get together and we would go to Church, have dinner, egg hunts, egg baskets, EVERYTHING. But, you know, to me it feels like the religious aspect of the holiday has worn off. Most kids just see it as:

a) the day we have too dress up n frilly ruffles to take pictures with the Easter bunny

b) The day we get loads of candy in Easter baskets

&

c) the day everyone comes of to have an egg hunt...

Really, I don't have a problem with losing the religious aspect but, I feel a bit guilty about it. To me, the best part about Easter is that we get to have whatever we gave up for lent. Which is a tad selfish, but when you try and go forty days/nights without sweets, then talk to me. 

Other than that, Easter here in the U.S is probably the same as it is anywhere else. April 12th this year. So, please, reply t this post with how you celebrate it. I think it'd be really cool to see what we do the same. To see what's different (:

    I go to church on Easter, LJ, and then spend time with the yaks and my kids at the farm.

    Good question!
