[QUOTE="DDD, post: 587683, member: 35"] We have never made a big celebration out of Easter....although I have to admit today was an all time low. Sigh. I worked, came home and made dinner. Not very festive for sure. Somehow when I was elementary school age I "got" the mesage that everybody bought new clothes and dressed up etc. on the other hand I noticed that poor people showed up for Mass and sat or stood in the back of the church wearing clean work clothes. Literally It made a HUGE impact on me. I have a gene that makes me abhor lack of equality. I do "know" the significance of Easter but sixty some years ago I decided that it should be different than what I observed at church. So...I have never emphasized the holiday. DDD PS: Yes I did Easter baskets for both generations of children but I was really happy to retire from that ritual, too. [/QUOTE]
