Easter traditions for secular people

Spent most of Easter with more than 30 old friends and family. This was the fourth or fifth year this gang had gathered to hunt for eggs and drink mimosas. A lovely tradition. As the kids get older, it gets harder to find activities that are fun (not to mention have some meaning) for both of them.

The event started out with the Tiffins making one of their typically generous broad invitations to many friends to come over and eat, drink and be merry. To the left, I am certainly taking care of all three.

The gathering has grown and now many of the kids who used to be delighted to find an egg, now enjoy hiding them for ever younger kids.

Despite the hardships facing many, we all had a great time and were comforted by each other's ongoing friendships, support and community.
