Easters of my Childhood

Seems like we all think about easter baskets, Peeps, jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, easter egg hunts and so forth more than what Easter is really all about. It was somewhat like that when I was a kid. Back then though, we got Good Friday off of school. Kids didn't get Good Friday off here. Good Friday was always the start of "Easter Break". Yep, that's what it said on the school calendar.

Looking back we did have all the easter baskets, easter egg hunts and so on. I remember we always got a record with our Easter baskets. If I remember correctly my first record was Fleetwood Mac's Rumors. Now kids get scooters, toys, Barbie's and all that candy. Easter morning has become what Christmas morning was when we were kids.

I really disliked Easter week when I was a kid cause I had to go to church constantly! Making a kid go to church Thursday night, Friday night and then Sunday morning was just too much. And then it was lent so we had to go on Wednesdays that whole month too! I'm a bad mother. I don't make my kids go to all those extra church services. I figure they'll hate going when they grew up. Maybe this way they'll want to go then.

Just some Easter tidbits from me. Hope you all had a great one with your family!
