My mom was crafty and artsy about it and we would enjoy making big messes while coloring all the Easter eggs. Then waiting while my dad hid the eggs in the yard, and finding more than my brother, was always fun.
I did the egg coloring and egg hunt with my own kids when they were smaller to, but now they are older, and lately we have been discussing the meaning of the holiday.
The beginning of Christianity was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There were no egg hunts at the crucifixion, that was more of a pagan ritual to celebrate fertility and spring.
Isn't it nice how time has changed the holiday to add gifts, the Easter bunny, marshmallow peeps, and the very popular Easter brunch buffets that require reservations days, weeks, or months in advance?
It doesn't matter how you celebrate or why. As long as you are enjoying your life and living each day, including holidays, the way that makes you happy, then the journey is memorable.
We are all on this lovely crazy journey of our lives, I wish you many blessings and lots of fun.
Hope you get lots of crazy colored Easter eggs and maybe a chocolate bunny to. I always bite the ear off first, for some reason, I think it hurts the chocolate bunny a little less. Ha ha.
Love and Aloha,
Maile
