Week One - Task Two

[Anne-Marie Gagne]

Introductions are done and now it's time to come up with some ideas for Easter. You already know that there will be an egg hunt but you want to hear from the rest of the group what ideas they have for the rest of the week.

In 100 words or more, I’d like you to talk about what you and your family do for Easter. If you do not celebrate Easter, I’d like you to take this time to tell us about any holidays you and your family celebrate in April or in Spring if there are none in April.

It depends on where my partner and I go for Easter and who will also be there. Some years, we go to my partner's mother's house, where we sit and talk, and occasionally, there will be an Easter dinner if enough people plan to go there that year. Other years, we go to my father's house, where we usually have an Easter lunch no matter who is there, but I have two young nieces and a nephew, so if they show up that particular year, there's usually an egg hunt around the yard for the kids. Sadly, no one offers Easter baskets to us adults anymore, which is a crime as far as I'm concerned. Adults deserve something, too.

My family normally don’t do too much for Easter, usually it’s just me my parents and sister (and in recent years maybe her partner) for Easter Sunday. Though we do sometimes see my aunt, uncle and cousins over Easter weekend. We’ll take the dogs out for a nice longish walk in the morning, then spend the rest of the day at home. My mum takes charge of Easter lunch, which normally is a lamb roast, followed by breaking into the chocolate- my parents do still buy me and my sister Easter eggs despite being adults. Though we do now get them each one too.
