People around me celebrate – or don’t – Easter in different ways. For some, it’s a long weekend to chill at home or break away somewhere. For others, it’s going to church. Others are focused on traditions with family. Some of us are working straight through like any other weekend. How – if you do or don’t – will you be spending the long weekend?
How – if at all – do you celebrate Easter?

bought some chocolate and jelly beans before, will buy more when it’s all cheap after easter, otherwise it’s really like most weekends. maybe will meet family for dinner, but that’s not all that irregular.
When my grandparents and mother were alive, we would get together for family ham dinner but seeing as how I am not religious and there’s no longer a familial tradition for me to indulge, it’s just another day.
I’m in Sweden. If you were a child you dressed up as a witch yesterday and went door to door giving out home made Easter cards and asking for candy. I don’t have kids and unfortunately I wasn’t home so no visitors for me.
I’m celebrating with friends this year with traditional food.
Based on your question and the knowledge that Easter is always a Sunday in April, I’m guessing that it’s this coming Sunday. I neither knew nor cared.
I’m flying to Orlando for work. A friend invited me to join his family for Easter where they are ordering Chinese. He doesn’t feel like cooking.
See family. When I was younger we’d go to church, we did all the events which I no longer remember.
Now do a small Easter egg hunt for my kids (before they were born it was for my dog… and before that my mum made us participate well into adulthood). See both sides of the family. Not a huge thing because we see them often.
Australia also has a terrible variety show fund-raiser for a children’s hospital, and I was on it when I was a baby so I try to watch a bit lol. On Good Friday.
The family have a festive breakfast and Easter egg hunt while I go make $$$ playing trumpet for several masses and end with lamb chops.
Get leave approved, do whatever we want. Long weekend.
Clean house, do hobbies, go out for the day.
Laugh at colleague calling in sick because they also want it off.
Used to gather the fam at the local sizzler
We have a nice Easter dinner with the family on Saturday, since the kids (adults) need to drive home on Sunday.
I don’t. I celebrate Christ every day. That’s why I’m pious. Not because I’m a once a year Christian.
We go to church, sometimes do egg hunts, get with family for lunch.
My family will either have a last minute BBQ or we will do nothing at all for it
Family gathering with food and activities for the kids, the young ones also get baskets and the adults will probably play board/card games too.
Also, this year we have plans to go to a friend’s house on Saturday for a bit of a shindig, this will also include food, games and activities for the children (big egg hunt).
I’m not Christian but we eat hot cross buns and chocolate and have a 4 day weekend. Normally some kind of family event but not this year.
Dye eggs, picnic if weather is good, enjoy the spring flowers and blossoming trees, a little Easter candy, hike if weather is good, celebrate the return of spring and rebirth of the Northern hemisphere. Unabashed pantheist.
Dye eggs we don’t hide then eat too much ham
My family isn’t religious, so my wife and I just hide eggs for our kids to find when they wake up.
I stay home.
We have a secular celebration. We’ll do spring themed decorations, buy chocolate, do an egg hunt for the kids, have a ham dinner with the extended family.
