[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 34109, member: 1991"] In our family, Santa and the Easter Bunny stop visiting once they turn 13, although Santa didn't visit difficult child 3 last Christmas, just before his birthday. We put the dividing line at high school age - once they're in high school, the visits stop. For easy child 2/difficult child 2 this means the visits stopped when she was 11. But we still hand out eggs or chocolate bunnies (or chocolate bilbies, if we can find them) to each family member. The chocolate bilbies are partly an Aussie protest to encouraging rabbits in ANY form, in a country where they're such a pest. Bilbies are cute marsupials with long rabbit-like ears. They're endangered and a portion of the cost of the chocolate ones goes to bilby conservation. [url="http://members.optusnet.com.au/bilbies/Easter_Bilby.htm"]http://members.optusnet.com.au/bilbies/Easter_Bilby.htm[/url] We NEVER had baskets, though. We might have an Easter egg hunt, searching the garden, but we'd carry them in whatever we had. Sometimes a basket, maybe, but only while collecting them. The Greek influence - sometimes we get dyed eggs. I was hoping to dye some this Easter, but the girl at the shop didn't put in the packet of dye with the eggs when I bought them. Never mind - I was probably too busy anyway to do it. Marg [/QUOTE]
