Growing up Easter....

The chocolate bunny and you had to eat the ears first.....the marshmallow chicks and bunnies that I know had to  be healthy..and eating hard boiled eggs that had been in the sun for hours. For you younger people ...yes we used to not remove the inside before coloring and yes some people did eat them. And yet we are still alive. Easter was all about the show...the big dresses and hats..polyester suits for the cool dudes back in the day. The only evidence I have that my dad went to church is an old Easter photo of us in Houston. The pastel green suit for dad and the powder blue one on me....wow what a sight. Like Christmas our culture has removed the meaning of Easter. Today Easter is all about the show as well. The fact that we can show people the real meaning of Christ's resurrection and how that is the cause for celebration.
Peace and Love
