    I celebrate it by eating too much candy and boiling and colouring eggs!

    Oh my gosh there's a relgious reason behind Easter! I thought it was just a time when a giant mutant bunny hid his death eggs in your yard. Man i missed so much.

    We've never done the whole end of lent thing (or the beginning of lent either) but it's always the day of the Resurrection for me.

    My mom's side of the family, which is primarily catholic, have always celebrated it completely, but my immediate family has never really celebrated it for its religious purpose, to my memory.

    Considering I didn't even know exactly what entailed celebrating Easter the "Christian Way," the answer is a resounding no. I've done the egg decorating and hiding and the mass-consuming of chocolate and other candy, but that's about it.

    Does anyone really celebrate a holiday it was meant to be celebrated anymore anyway? I heard that the Easter we celebrate was a Pagan holiday in the first place, anyway.

    Our church has a celebration in the park that we go to, then we go home and open our Easter baskets (yes, I still get Easter baskets; one from my mom, my stepmom, and my fiance's mom), then have dinner and all that.

    I eat a lot of chocolate. Surely that's Christian!

    My family does and I sorta just go with it cause, somehow, it's never the right time to let my Dad (who is a minister) know that I'm not exactly Christian.

    My Catholic parents make me. Two masses in three days is evil.

    I'm not exactly sure what the Christian way might be.

    I don't even think Christians celebrate it the Christian way.

    The closest I get to celebrating easter is eating those spicy rolls, I guess.

    Nope, for me it's (or it used to be) just the bunnies, baskets, and coloring eggs. My father is a pretty devout Catholic, and he does go to Mass and do all of the rituals that I'm not too familiar with. In fact, since he works in the Catholic church in my hometown, I'm pretty sure he does even more than most.
