First and foremost Happy Easter to you all. I know I'm a day late but I wanted to still post something about Easter. It's one of those times of the year where family gets together celebrates the reason for the season and put together some of their most treasured family traditions.
For me our traditions are simplistic. We do not have some crazy Easter egg hunts or any huge family gatherings with more than 7 people. For my family the traditions are simple but they run deep, at least for me.
Our celebration includes good food, fun and family. The first thing that is always the same is that we have ham. This is a fight (a nice friendly one) every year because my step-dad think it should be turkey but us polish people (my mom and I) believe that we should have ham and well the cooks always win so we have ham. :)
Also like many others we dye Easter eggs. We have tried all the new-fangled kinds of dye but we always end up do a traditional dye job our our eggs. Then we simply eat them. No hiding and forgetting that one egg that will smell up the house for days after.
Something else that is always the same (traditionally speaking) is that we always play board games. It is something that we all love doing, except for my boyfriend at times because he seems to think that my mom and I are plotting against him in a battle of house rules vs real rules. Hey what can I say, my mom and I our very opinionated people and like things to go our way. Hehehehe
So we eat at about 2 o'clock every year and then we just sit and binge on games, candy and snacks. All the while yelling at each other that they are cheating or not playing right or laughing or secretly plotting on how you are going to beat everyone!
What are your family traditions? What makes Easter just a little more special for you and your family?
Happy Easter everyone!
