Happy late-Easter to those of you who were celebrating yesterday!
I'm hoping the Easter bunny was very good to you and brought you all the chocolate and marshmallow chicks you can handle for the year.
If you're on a diet, I hope he brought you plenty of carrots to eat while the rest of us polish off our chocolate eggs.
Traditions are very important to my characters in Honey Creek, especially traditions that surround holidays. They are a time to get together without worrying about all the other things that need to get done. That's how they always were for my family when I was growing up. My brother and I would spend Saturday dying Easter eggs to leave for the Easter bunny to hide.
Come Sunday, we'd both rush around the house, trying to find the most eggs. Of course, no one in my house actually liked to eat them, so they mostly went into the trash the next day.
What traditions do you have?

Traditions are great! It builds a sense of belonging/continuing into our families. We have a Passover Seder (this year we attended one put on my Jews for Jesus). My dad reads the never ending story while we look forward to the next 'ritual' (usually involves eating or drinking) and the kids love dripping the wine/grape juice onto the plate for the ten plagues. Then they run wild to find the hidden afikoman matzah to win the prize and announce that it's time to eat dinner!
