Any other Easter traditions going on in the next few days?
This will be my first Easter away from my family -- my boyfriend and I are spending it this year with his family -- and it will be interesting to see what his family traditions are for that day.
My family always does an egg cracking for good luck -- eastern european and Greek thing -- Each person selects his/her egg. Then people take turns tapping their egg against the eggs of others, and the person who ends up with the last unbroken egg is believed to have a year of good luck.
I hope his family doesn't think I'm an egg-cracking freak !
What do you all have planned?

My son will be coloring many, many eggs... you know... just for fun.

Theres a bird nest outside my window. I think for fun Im gonna steal the eggs for a moment, dye them pretty colors, then put them back, and confuse the hell out of the mother bird

of course...

eggs won't dye themselves!!!


...thought ya knew!!...

In Spain we crack our eggs into our loved ones' heads.

Don't you do that?

Thay's funny.

Tom said:

OH NO...just don't cook the babies!

Naw, past those days. My kids would look at me like i'm crazy.

PANDURITO said:

Nope, we just crack the eggs into each other

No

Lots of Easter egg coloring for sure, my daughter loves this. And she will wake to an Easter basket of books and a few goodies.



Oh, and then I make a mean potato salad.

I will be coloring them with my neice this weekend... I still love coloring them and hunting them out!

I love coloring eggs on Easter, it's a tradition.

applekisses said:

I don't have anyone to color with!

No. I'm a vegan athiest. There will be no Easter Egg coloring in my household.

Do it with your niece or nephew...or boyfriend or even do it by yourself it's so fun!
If you want to come to Michigan you can color eggs with Tim and I.

applekisses said:

They are all busy this weekend...

I am coming to Michigan, thanks for the invite.. I'll bring the Cristal...

sag10 said:

YAAAY!

sag10 said:

After you're done there coloring eggs, come and see me... and bring some Cristal with you, I haven't had that in a couple of years!



My kids will be coloring eggs this weekend and Tuesday we'll throw them away...

Already done...

Our family tradition:

My mom saves egg shells all year long...whew.
she only cracks the top of the egg, washes it,
and puts them up for the year.
Easter time, we let the kids color the eggs, let
them dry, then fill them with confetti, and glue
a piece of tissue paper over the hole, to hold
in the confetti. Then, on Easter, CRACK...over
someone's head. It's lots of fun...

We've even started my wife's family in on our
tradition...we're the toast of Easter!

WE ROCK!!!

Revolution said:

Wow... my Easter egg coloring is lame compared to that. We just dip them in the gunk and call it good.

AzureStar said:

U try cleaning up a million confetti's ...

Revolution said:

Ugh... I have a hard enough time dealing with cards that people send me with oodles of confetti in them. Now I'm so paranoid about it that I shake the card, carefully open the card, slowly and carefully remove it from the envelope, gently open it.. all while holding it over a trash can.

But... what you described sounds like fun and worth cleaning up afterwards!

Me and my babies will be coloring lotsa eggs!

The "Easter Bunny" will hide em and leave candy

and presents for each one of them! I love Easter!!

Revolution said:

HEY!!! I remember this from when I was a kid visiting family in Honduras!!! I had forgotten all about it!

I think that I'll try it with the kids this year (if I can save up enough egg shells)...THANKS REVOLUTION!!!
