To be honest, im not quite sure what one is supposed to do on Easter really....

However, tradition has always got me over to grandmamas for a huge dinner, and then I eat! Today, my stomach hurt i ate so much. I passed out. on the couch.
Infact, i felt guilty for all those people out there with no food to eat, i mean i was FULL...
LOL

- I am interested in what others on UM are doing for Easter! What sort of way do you celebrate!!!??? If at all? Is there regulations on your Easter? For instance my close bredrin SP, he doesn't eat meat druing this time, at all...... he's not even quite sure why, he says it has something do to woth the last meal.

I'm... eating Matzah.

Hmm, i have never had it. I know its mentioned in the bible, the Israelites were leaving Ancient Egypt, they had no time to wait until their bread rose, so they baked it before it had a chance to rise, and the result was matzo (Exodus 12:39).

sounds good though mmm.

Celebrated Easter with the family and enjoyed a delicious dinner. Then took an outing and almost ended up in Canada, but turned around at the border. All in all, it was a great day!

Should have came up here, we love visitors

celebrated it for the kids sake at parents in law, don't really do easter, ostara is more my thing if you catch my drift???

Where did Ostara come from. What nation created it?

its a pagan celebration and its where the christians stole the idea of easter from. we normally celebrate it on 21st march!

It's more commercialized than ever, Easter is the traditional Easter Bunny/ Chocolate ideology out here in the west. i don't know about you theory there sam. No disrespect although.

well i guess you wouldn't if you don't know anything about paganism, its more european than anything so i guess you wouldn't!
and no disrespect seen!

There was another person mentioning ostara . . she gave a brief description of ostara, very interesting.

it is indeed nativechick, so thank you for that

Matzah is actulay close to flavorless. If you do try it it goes really well with butter!

Well, we go to my hubby's mom's house the Sat. before Easter, let the kids hunt eggs then stuff ourselves with delicious food everyone has prepared. Then on Easter Sun. we go to church, come home and go to my mom's house and have an adult AND child egg hunt, then stuff ourselves again w/delicious food. It's no wonder I have to watch what I eat for the next week or so after the holidays!

I'm nursing the mother of all hangovers.
Good Easter.

Are you always nursing a hangover Burn? It seems like that in your blog

Happy Easter to you too!

Happy Easter to you too.
And, unfortunately, yes it always seems i'm out with big crowds who force me to drink things i really don't want too.

Lol
