Egg Traditions

Happy Easter.

Because of this Easter season I have been hearing about different Easter traditions recently.

• Easter baskets filled with toys, candy, or bread to be found in the morning.
• Easter egg hunt
• Decorating Easter eggs- crayons and dye/dye/natural dyes/yarn/stickers
• Huge dinners
• Eating something with hard boiled eggs- deviled eggs/creamed eggs on toast/potato salad/egg salad sandwiches
• Belief in the Easter bunny
• Rolling Easter Eggs down snow banks or sand dunes

Growing up we always decorated Easter Eggs. Usually we draw pictures on them with crayons (or cray-pas work better) and then dye them. We also always went on an Easter Egg Hunt. We had to go play in one area while our parents hid them. So much fun. And when we had the chance we rolled them.

I never remember believing in the Easter Bunny, having a big dinner, or getting Easter baskets (well maybe once). My favorite Easter Book was/is definitely The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes by Du Bose Heyward.

Happy Easter, and I hope you enjoyed your own Easter traditions - all revolving around eggs apparently.
