I like it when they dress a saw horse as a witch then hang on the trunk of a tree as if she crashed there... bRoom on the ground of course.

WE dont decorate.... But my son has known dress in his costume then to sit on the bench by the front door as if he were a mannequin. Then when the older kids come by he reaches for one... OMG the squeels ..... Of course he doesnt move when the little kids come up.

We do egg hunts usually too, although they mostly happen indoors since we quite often still have snow outside in Easter. Among other things, we get to enjoy Kinder eggs which are horribly dangerous to American children, but not European children. When I was a kid, my sister and I used to draw a map of the apartment, and then my parents would mark down where the Easter Bunny had hidden the eggs/chocolates. And Karin's mother still hides some candy for Karin and me to find when we go for Easter dinner at their house. Many people paint or dye eggs too, although I haven't done that in a while. My favorite Easter treats are the Kinder eggs, and Fazer's Mignon eggs, which are real eggs filled with chocolate nougat and plugged with sugar.

*Edit* And the egg hunt takes place on Easter Sunday, while the virpominen happens a week before.

I never heard of Kinder eggs till I was on BYC.... LOL.

Yes, children must be protected from the horrors. I think people have actually been arrested trying to smuggle them into the US.
