Easter has always had special meaning for our family. We are Christians and today is the holiest of all days to us. It means that we are forgiven for our sins and will be together in eternity as a family because Christ died for our sins and was resurrected on the third day.... which we celebrate on Easter Sunday.
We get together as a family at Grandma's house and celebrate in all the traditional ways - we have dinner which always includes ham, deviled eggs, peas from Grandma's garden, biscuits, all the other fixings and some good ole Georgia sweet tea. Grandma makes her biscuits from scratch right out of the flour container (which I have never been able to do and never will never attempt to do unless you like skipping stones with your dinner!). We always laugh a lot and there is usually one or two who take a nap after lunch.
We decorated eggs and had easter egg hunts for all the kids when they were younger. Some of the eggs are still turning up in the yard, years later. (Not the real ones, we'd find them in the summer after Easter when they started to get really "ripe"!). And with me around, there was always the "family group shot" that everyone moaned and groaned about, but now loves to see how we all changed through the years!
Enjoy your day and I hope that you spend it with family. Easter is a celabration of life everlasting so just remember that without Christ, Easter and our lives would have no meaning, no point. God bless you all and remember I love you!
