The Easter Bunny isn’t just for kids.
Last year I wrote about my Easter Egg Hunt… my search on the internet for Bunny Basket Eggs. For years my husband would dutifully look for them in the stores as soon as the Easter candy came out. He had no luck until two years ago, when we found some at Target in Santa Fe. So last year we made a special trip to look for them again but Target didn’t carry them that year. So I searched the web.
One internet site would sell us 24 packages for about $65, which seemed excessive even for my candy-loving husband. Another site, which would have sold us a smaller quantity, was already sold out. Even though we weren’t successful, we had a good time hunting.
However, as soon as Mardi Gras came this year I tried again and was able to buy him some…two packages, 24 pieces each. He’s been gradually eating them ever since and still has six left, so should have a couple left for next Sunday (Easter).
I’m not a candy eater, but it does warm my heart to honor the Easter Bunny each year.
What about you? Are you still young enough to celebrate traditions that are supposedly for kids? If so, have you made some creative changes to how you celebrate now that you’re an adult?
When I eat candy it’ll be 72% cocoa, very dark chocolate. But I do love it. Up to 4 little squares is plenty, according to Dr. Oz TV.
Andy must have a nostalgic memory in his childhood to want the above (yucky) candy.
bikehikebabe,
I agree! I think they’re very pretty to look at but hideous to eat. I didn’t even like them when I was a kid. But I did enjoy finding them for him.
No, I do not celebrate any festivals be they for children or adults. When our son decided that fireworks and crackers were for children because dogs got scared during the festival, and he would have nothing to do with them, we too gave up all festivals. All of us in the family believe that everyday is a festival to be celebrated.

Rummuser,
I too celebrate life every day. That doesn’t keep me from having fun playing the Easter Bunny, though. The two aren’t mutually exclusive thank goodness!
When I count my blessings I now add “I’m grateful I don’t live in India where they set off fire crackers.” I’m sensitive to loud noises too…another thing I have in common with dogs. 🙂
Gosh, Jean I remember your post on the Easter Egg Hunt last year. But whether I was contributing then or just silently reading I do not know.
I have a friend who each Easter, gives me a package of Easter Egg(s) & this no different. Except I was curious how many servings were indicated on the package
There were 2 unfilled chocolate eggs and 2 **** bars and the total servings were 10.4
Later, I found that the bars were labelled 1 serving each so that meant that the eggs were 8.4 servings. I really couldn’t see how you would do that so over the last few days I have consumed all of them!!!
I don’t really observe any of the common festivals in the way that they are supposed to represent. Our next commeneration is coming up on April 25th – ANZAC day. http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/war/anzacday
When my Father was alive he refused for any of us to be involved as he was caught up in WW1 and ended up an amputee…finally I think about 2000 I decided to do 2 things:
1: buy a poppy
2″:attend the local ceremony including the march and then the service. It was interesting to see how it worked and I did a few other years and now I am pass it. I do honour those but not in that way…
I will probably celebrate the way differently yet again
