The Easter Tag

Hey guys!

I hope you're all having a great Good Friday so far.

I recently saw The Easter Tag on a few blogs, and thought it would be fun to give it a go, so that is what I'm going to do. 

If you want to know how I typically celebrate Easter, what my plans are this Easter weekend, or what my favourite Easter treat is, keep reading!

1. Do you celebrate Easter?

I do celebrate Easter with my family, but not as a religious holiday. It's more about celebrating the return of spring, appreciating pretty pastel-coloured things, and enjoying a meal with my family. I had to do the whole religious thing when I was growing up- church, learning about the Easter story, Christian-related Easter activities at school etc.- as I was raised catholic and went to a catholic primary school, but it wasn't my thing. Sorry, Dad.

2. What was favourite thing about Easter growing up?

I'm not going to lie, when I was growing up, my favourite thing was receiving a bunch of Easter eggs from my family. I mean, what kid doesn't love receiving chocolate wrapped in brightly-coloured packaging?!

3. What are you plans for Easter this year?

I'll probably spend the morning enjoying the Bunny Day Easter event on Animal Crossing while watching Steel Magnolias (my favourite Easter film), and then hand out Easter eggs to my family. We're planning to enjoy our annual Easter roast together in the afternoon- which is basically like Christmas Dinner- and if the weather's good, we might host it in the garden so my sister and brother-in-law can join us. (Yay for the rule of six)! After that, I'll probably just enjoy an Easter egg, and watch some Easter TV. I'll also make some Easter crackers and table favours today or tomorrow ready for our Easter meal, and spend Easter Monday watching movies and eating chocolate. A pretty typical Easter in our house.

4. Do you colour eggs?

I never have, but I've always wanted to.

5. Do you have Easter traditions?

We always exchange Easter eggs in the morning, and have a big Christmas-style family roast around the table on Easter Sunday afternoon, with a turkey and all the trimmings. I also have to watch Steel Magnolias every year and have done every year since I was little because it's the best Easter film ever!

6. Favourite Easter treat?

When it comes to Easter treats, you can't beat a Cadbury Easter egg or Mini Eggs- as chocolate goes, few things beat them. I'm also loving Terry's Chocolate Orange Mini Eggs, and Cadbury Orange Mousse Bunnies a lot right now. Why is orange milk chocolate so good?!

7. Least favourite Easter treat?

Nestle Easter eggs are always a big disappointment.

8. Do you hunt / hide eggs?

No, I don't think I even went on an Easter egg hunt when I was a child. Easter wasn't a big thing in England when I was growing up; it was mostly family roasts, a store-bought Easter egg, and church, if you were religious. Nobody I knew did Easter egg hunts, or even decorated their homes for Easter. I'd love to throw an Easter egg hunt now, but there aren't any young kids in the family to throw one for.

9. Do you get pictures with the Easter Bunny?

Wait, The Easter Bunny does photo-ops now??

10. What do you typically put in Easter baskets?

I've never put together an Easter basket, but I have been known to send Easter parcels to friends and relatives. I usually just include a selection of mini Easter eggs and bunnies, and wrap them in pastel-coloured tissue paper and ribbons for them to unwrap. Last year, I also included Easter crackers I'd handmade. I love putting Easter parcels together!

And that's The Easter Tag.

I tag... anyone who wants to give this tag a go! If you decide to do The Easter Tag, send me your links; I'd love to read your answers!
