If you are celebrating Easter?

Question

What meal are you preparing and do you have any traditions that you follow, maybe passed down in your family?

I think I am working that day, otherwise we'd have some type of pork and probably decorate eggs, we go more towards the pagan side of it than the Christian.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

I am celebrating Easter.  We will start the morning off with a good Easter Egg hunt.  Whether the eggs are outside or not will depend on the weather.  And since we celebrate all four seasons here in Southern Illinois...there is no telling what it will be like.  Once that is done, we will do some arts and crafts with the kids...just because its fun.  And then later in the day we will have a nice family gathering for Turkey or maybe Duck.  It's like Thanksgiving in the Spring.  Very good time.

We make my grandma's ham - it has cloves, brown sugar and dry mustard, then pour over gingerale.  My other grandma's butter beans with bacon and onions.  Mashed potatoes.  My sister did an easter egg scavenger hunt with clues to each egg and then a big prize (basket) at the end.  The kids loved it.  They are 14 and 17 and still talk about it.

Answer 17

My family used to have a leg of lamb or a ham every year for easter.  I am alone now and wont bother with all of that, unless I can talk someone into joining me here for dinner - in which case there will be deviled eggs, ham, greens, scalloped potatoes and a lamb-shaped cake (covered with coconut frosting)

Oh, and hot cross buns, which I make on my own.

Answer 18

nahhh its only easter.

Answer 19

I'm not preparing the meal, but it'll probably be ham or turkey with the trimmings.  One year, I was ambitious and made a leg of lamb.  All the kids are grown so we don't do the eggs or the baskets anymore, although there is plenty of candy around.  Power to the Peeps! lol

Answer 24

Yes, we celebrate Easter. We generally try to go to a "Sunrise service" and to our regular church worship service. Our whole family generally gets together at my house for dinner & egg hunts for the kids.We generally have a pre-planned covered dish menu:

Dinner generally is Pineapple-baked ham, Mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, peas, Coleslaw, corn, green beans, Candied yams or sweet potato casserole, Mac & Cheese, Fried Chicken, Bisquits, iced tea and dessert. We generally play 'surprise me" with desserts and see who can fix the most exotic dish.
