I'm not into Easter, and I've conditioned my kids (who are teenagers now anyways) not to expect much, though we did hide plastic eggs and give them candy when they were little. Now? I gave my younger son $20 and told him he could go over to the store and get half price candy the day after. He was thrilled.
Needless to say, I am not into religion, and neither are my boys at this point. But I've always told them that they are welcome to get into that if they choose to on their own at some point, and I do admire my little brother, who has always been religious but has taken a very "love and help thy fellow man and judge not" sort of approach. Like he doesn't condemn anybody, and he would travel to poorer countries with youth mission groups, and play his guitar and sing about Jesus and plant gardens and build houses for people. Hey, if you're doing good, you're doing good. So that's been my approach...but I am glad my kids have not chosen to go that direction, given the free will to choose.
Also....Peeps...I love to microwave them.
