I'm dreading this whole upcoming Easter business ugh everyone fights over who's hosting and I don't even wanna participate cause frankly I don't want my kids believing in some zombie

Reminds me of the Jesus=Zombie argument in Bones

I just sit quietly. My family is small so it's always at the same house.

The high point of Easter is the Peeps on chocolate dipped cookies....

Well my parents are divorced and hate each other even after 40 years whem we bought our house we started hosting holidays but everyone's such turds it's hard to please the masses. Jake's siblings don't usually have anywhere to go since his mooch mother lives in OUR basement. And since I don't celebrate the holidays in the "typical" sense I like to be difficult lol

I didn’t really know people did big family events at Easter.
I am all in favor of a feast whatever the excuse!

I like Easter because I'm a sl*t for consumerist holidays And I love watching my kids hunt for Easter eggs and find their Easter baskets. But I could do without the story behind it.
I have to work on Easter this year anyway, but every year that I have to work I tell my mom that no, she can't take the kids to church with her.

That's fine, it's just nice to know that there are plenty of other people like me here the gardening/homesteading/farming communities seem to be overwhelmingly religious which is fine, but I quickly feel out of place and sometimes unwelcome in those spaces because of my lack of belief.

Happy to be here

So happy to find this thread for the same reason! I joined some of the local Facebook chicken and duck groups for my area and it gets a bit awkward in there with how religion centered some of them get.

My dad's side of the family used to do big easter lunches and egg hunts, but we haven't in years and years. Not sure why we stopped, but it used to be fun to get together for tons of deviled eggs and the massive egg hunt.

For those who don't like Easter do you know the other roots of the holiday that arn't Christian?

I celebrate Ostara, Ostara marks the spring equinox, when day and night are equal and balanced. It symbolizes the returning of light over darkness, as the days lengthen and nature begins to really bloom. The name “Ostara” is believed to have been derived from Eostre, the goddess of spring and fertility.
