What are your Easter plans for this Sunday?
Yesterday, my close friend, Marcia called& invited me to have brunch with her & hubby Dave at their house after our Sunday worship service. This will be the 1st time I'll be seeing Tage,family dog aka 'my buddy boy' since Thanksgiving,have missed him
I'm sure he will go crazy when he sees me
 
Its just another day of the year for us. As a non religious family, we do have a family lunch on the Sunday. None of my Wife's grown children or grand children have ever been "church goers". We got married in a civil ceremony at City Hall here in Toronto. Same for all 3 of her adult children. JIMB >
 
My church has a sunrise service, but I don't get out of the house that early, so I'll just attend the regular worship service mid-morning. Some of us normally eat out after church, but this Sunday, most people will probably have family get togethers at their homes.

I'll be trying to fix a small traditional dinner for the two of us. Bought an Easter Lily for the home. I do remember when it was a big deal, Sunrise Service, Easter baskets for the kids, coloring the eggs, the ladies in their new hats... those days are long gone
 
We wonā€™t be going to church but will have a turkey dinner..We know ham is the traditional meal but the last ham we had was super salty.
We will have roast tiny red potatoes with carrots and turnip, stuffing and cranberry sauce and gravy. Then weā€™ll have chocolate cake and ice cream. I look for forward to it.
 
Like @Buckeye mentioned, my holidays are mainly made up of memories these days and Iā€™m fine with that.

Iā€™ll tune into Seacoast church services online at 8:00am.

Fix a small but traditional meal with minimal leftovers, maybe a packet or two for the freezer.

I really try not to load up the house with holiday treats and I am gradually getting better at it.

I have all of the basics for a nice meal except a cabbage for salad and a single serving dessert of some sort.
 
My daughter and future son in law will spend the night Saturday. I have stuffed cabbage rolls in the freezer so on Sunday I'll use those with spring rice, fresh asparagus from the garden and cucumber salad.
I have a carrot cake mix to use up so I'll make cookies with cream cheese icing.
My younger daughter's birthday is on Easter and she requested to just have a quiet family dinner at home.. They are the only ones of us that attend church. I'll see them the next week.
My son did is in Iceland
Easter is actually usually great weather so a good time to get together and enjoy food and company.
 
My daughters' birthday and mine are right after Easter this year.. so we will not be doing anything at Easter, but we've got a big lunch to go to for our joint birthdays at an upmarket restaurant.... the following week...


It's gonna be brilliant as long as I an get fuel to get there... and that's looking more and more unlikely

Just another day here and Easter is hardly noticed. It does have one advantage though. The supermarkets have some great food bargains and if you have a good freezer, you can enjoy half price living for months.

The forecast for Easter weekend is pretty bleak with gale force winds over large areas. If the weather was nice, we might go for a stroll along the beach - if it wasn't too busy.

If the weather is as bad as forecast, then it will be a bit of indoor DIY. We don't celebrate Easter, but we have a nice meal to celebrate the Equinox and the coming of spring.

 
My Easter plans have changed,instead of going to our church service at 10:30, I'll be watching part of it online
I called my friend, Marcia told her I would like to help her set up for the brunch at their house instead. Her husband, Dave will pick me up at 11 She thanked me
