What will you non-Christians do on Easter?

Question

There won't be a race for me to watch, so I'm going to sleep in, go to Coney Island, and stock up on Half-Price Chocolate Day the next day. (That's the multifaith holiday that falls on Monday after Easter! :-) Other years, I have visited my family and/or gone surfing, and once I did my taxes and cleaned my house from top to bottom.

How do the rest of you deal with it?

Answer 1

Visit my family (my sister's a Christian and she's arranged a big lunch).
Eat too much.
Drink too much.
Argue with my family about whether I'm sober enough to drive home.
Sober up.
Eat some more.
Drive home.
Glug half a bottle of antacid.
Log onto Y!A and share war stories of my day.

Answer 2

Probably sit on here like I usually do. Or work. I get time and a half if I work on Easter.

My sister will be giving my nephew an easter egg hunt like we always did when we were kids. We'd wake up in the morning and the whole house would be covered in chocolate easter eggs that lead to big easter baskets on the kitchen table that had toys in them.

Then we'd have a big breakfast and go over to the grandparents to visit and eat some more.

Not sure if she'll bring the nephew over or not but I hope so. I wish I could be there for the easter egg hunt. But that always started before we'd even brushed our teeth in the morning.

Answer 3

As an Asatru family, we're going to have a big ham, potato salad, pies, rabbit if I can shoot one before then... little buggers seem to know it's Wabbit Season, though... They're in hiding.
Basically a big spread.
And the kids will search out eggs the adults have hidden.
And they'll overload on chocolate, buzz around like a fly on crack in a sugar fuelled frenzy and then crash into bed and sleep like the dead.
If I can't hunt down a rabbit, my wife will probably make rabbit shaped cookies or something.

Answer 4

Bloddy Mary Easter Brunch

Answer 5

Well, I'll wait for my little cousins to finish their day with the Easter baskets, egg hunts, dinners and such, then bring them with me for their spring break. We got the week planned out for the zoo, Six Flags, water balloon fights, and all that good stuff to spoil them and send them back home with. I'll probably get a cute little bunny cake I saw at the store for them and, like you, go chocolate shopping the next day, hehehe. Chocaholics of all faiths love the holiday leftover sales. :-D

Answer 7

Easter is yet another stolen pagan holiday. The christians will be doing it up pagan style with a little dogma thrown in for good measure....just like they do at Yule/xmas. I will be hunting eggs with my children, eating ham and being thankful that I'm not a christian that day. Actually I'm thankful that I'm not a christian everyday.

Answer 8

That afternoon we'll go to my parents house (My mother is Christian) and we'll do tons of Pagan activities *wink*. Though, the Pagan Ostara is past us now, all the traditions are done on Easter by Christians - so I guess I get this holiday twice. =) Most likely, I'll sleep in, though, till my mother calls and asks where the hell we are. *grin*

Answer 9

Ill be at a Golf Course. Ive got to practice for my tournament coming in two weeks...

Past years, Ive ridden to the top of Mt. Tamalpias for the sunrise... Quite the Spiritual experience, on a mountain top, seeing the sun rise...makes me understand why the ancients worshipped the sun...

Answer 10

We have our own Easter "egg" hunt to do that day. It's when we go find all the presents our dogs have left around the yard all winter and clean them up.
