Happy Easter~! (: So true as I will never forget those days when we were young. The best of our childhood memories. Sometimes you got to bring the feeling back and relive those memories and feelings. Aha I really love that cookie! x3 I'm real happy you brought that verse up as that's the meaning of easter(: Read it all the time. ~

1 Corinthians 15:16-20

1 John 2:25

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter <3

and to think I thought this whole time that easter was the birth of the easter bunny

Lolz! X3

My dad and I joke that Easter is the remembrance of the Easter Bunny being crucified instead of Jesus. Like, he's bring it up whenever he deemed that I didn't get him a good enough gift for Easter. "What? You got me the Bunny-shaped Peeps instead of the Chicks?! And you didn't even give me any money in my card? The Easter Bunny died on that cross for your sins and this is how you give thanks for his sacrifice? Great!"

Then I'll say, "You don't like my gifts? Fine, if you hate your Easter basket so much, then I won't do anything for Father's Day coming up."

lol I should draw that...
We ate our easter rabbit when I was a kid

Happy Easter! :3 Just got back from mass with the family. We're getting ready to head to my grandma's house now.

Enjoy the evening with your family

there were egg hunts at school or in the park, and coloring them and baking cookies. my dad was a humanist at that time, and neither of my parents were particularly religious, christian or otherwise. my mom missed her jewish family, who were all on the east coast and we were way out here, in a small town along the railroad in the mountains in northern california. and her's were the only relatives i ever met. i still to this day at the age of 64, have never knowingly met anyone from my father's family. so i'm sorry, but even when i was little it was never all that big of a deal for me. only in the sense of it being one of those days when everything was closed. all the little grocery stores and coffee shops. i think even the bars might have been.

my dad, working for the railraod, holydays didn't directly affect his work schedule. they just meant he got paid time and half for that day if they fell on a day he had to work, or double time and a half, if it was also an assigned rest day he was having to fill in for someone else for some reason.

pretty much it was just hard boiling eggs and coloring them and hiding them for each other to go look for. there was just my parents and my self. the other kids at school i mostly only saw in school, and didn't really feel close to. there were only two particular friends, and even them i didn't see often except in school.

You may might have not celebrated the religious part of this Holiday, but hard boiling eggs, coloring and hiding them is memory of Easter that we all share.

Not to mention remembering how fun it was to search for, find and eatting them at the end of the night.
