none as an adult. As a kid we would open our eggs in the morning then go to my grandmas.
We would have easter bonnets and go to church and on the way home we would collect violets out the hedgerows. Then have tea with an easter cake |

That sounds lovely.
We would go to church or Sunday school when we were kids and of course get an Easter egg. Rows would break out as inevitably one sibling would accuse another of eating theirs |

I am not the most religious person but been Greek Orthodox I get to enjoy this Easter but my Easter is on 2nd May this year.For our Greek Easter we normally celebrate with family and a bbq , painted boiled eggs which we crack against each other and a flouna which is a oven baked cheese and raisin cake. |

It was great as kids with the decorating, Easter bonnets and the egg hunts. When your an adult its just a day off work to eat your body weight in chocolate! |

"My Nanna used to hard boil eggs and dye them by wrapping them in onion peel for decoration, you then had to choose an egg and take turns hitting someone else’s until only one was not cracked. " . That’s exactly what us Greeks do.As kids my grand parents and parents always said that the winning egg after all had competed against each other should be kept for a year and then it would turn to gold as kids we believed them.

"None, don't even get an egg.
My lot are shit at family stuff.
Mine are exactly the same. They have never been very good at family shit. "
It gives me a weird feeling and I know traditions or whatever doesn't equate to love or care, but I can't help thinking "awww, your family really makes effort" when I see others doing stuff.
Mine, I dunno, all fuels the "I'm not worth it" fire.

See I don't even like chocolate so I don't get to benefit. Ahaha |
