Happy Easter (or Spring-related festival of your choice)

[dish]

Yesterday was, according to the traditional Chinese calendar, the first day of spring. In my husband's hometown this event is celebrated by eating carrots. He was unable to give any reason for this tradition, so I'll never know why.

It's raining heavily here, and a bitter cold wind is blowing. Hope the weather is better wherever you are.

[Thanatos 51-50]

Indeed, Joyus occasion. Wind is something lie 04005KT here, Temperature around 50 degrees farinheit, Basically, WX is good.
I'm spending the holiday working. Like I spent yesterday, and will spend tomorrow (or today as of 4.5 hours ago).

Be vewy vewy qwiet; I'm hunting wabbits.

*Spots chocolate egg on ground*

The twail is still fwesh.

Not doing anything much for [MISCELLANEOUS SPRING HOLIDAY] this year. Feeling too low energy. I can't even think up how to claim this holiday in the name of Hoboshu yet. One of the few benefits of being the sole worshipper of your god: less divine smiting. I can be lazy until a few more convert...

ENJOY ANY DATE-BASED EVENT (RELIGIOUSLY SIGNIFICANT OR OTHERWISE) YOU MAY BE EXPERIENCING AT THIS TIME.

If it's Easter, then Spring Break can't be too far behind!

Woohooo! *Strips off shirt and runs around on the beach*
I'm not in college, so I don't get a spring break.

[MrEdwardNigma]

I got a shirt for Easter. I'm sure that's not customary..

[EmeraldRose]

*runs through the thread, throwing dyed eggs around at everyone*

Don't worry, I didn't boil them first.

[Pyro]

I don't know if my family is doing anything easter related, but I love spring. The weather is so mild and it doesn't get dark at friggin' 5 o' clock.

[purple gelatinous cube o' Doom]

Ah, the deeply religious (Christian) holiday for which most people represent it, but eating various concoctions of the pagan symbol of fertility.

It's a white easter! Woke up to snow this morning.

And yet I don't think I've ever seen a white Christmas.

It's like that time I was at Uni and the Spannish girl was all excited about seeing snow for the first time so she rang her parents only to discover that they had had more snow in Spain that day than here.

Happy Easter from Cookiethulu. The first picture's upside-down, by the way. The tentacles should be on the bottom.

[Exachix]

Stupid place I live meaning I won't get snow but all these people will.

Ah well.

Happy Easter.

[Emperor Demonking]

White easters rule. Snow ball fights.

[Winterwind]

White Easter here, too. The day before yesterday, about one foot of snow fell during a single night.

Anyway, happy Easter/holiday/whateveryoucelebrate to all of you, dear Playgrounders!

[EmeraldRose]

We've also got a white Easter. Complete with bunny tracks in the snow. My son was thrilled to see those!

Niiiice. ^.^

We had fox tracks, we think. Too wide for a cat, and no dogs have been wandering by our house.

[EmeraldRose]

Yeah, there's a TON of bunnies around here, so the snow made it perfect to see the tracks across the driveway and walk

[Glaivemaster]

White Easter here too. We were walking home through York at 4 in the morning in the snow. Beautiful, apart from the random drunks asking for our umbrellas and spoiling the otherwise unspoilt snow

[Dispozition]

Hot Easter here...And it's Autumn...IT ARE NOT SPRING >.>

Anyway, yeah...Happy whatever to whoever...It's not even Easter for me anymore...It being Monday and all...

[Mauve Shirt]

No snow here.
No bunnies either, just satanic squirrels.

Almost everyone here went home for Easter, so we have the dorm pretty much to ourselves. However, that means I have to deal with whatever the dining hall serves us for "Easter dinner." Hopefully brunch will still be good.

Like these?

[Agamid]

i've never even seen snow :(

It was 28 degrees here today (that's about 82F i think..) with 84% humidity and a few showers around lunch time... I want it to either start raining properly, or for autumn weather to start already!

My family doesn't celebrate any of the christian celebrations, but my mum LOVES hot cross buns and chocolate in the shape of eggs, bunnies and bilbies ( and buying them and giving them to her kids), so it's a pretty tasty time of the year for us.

So happy easter, passover, celebration of the goddess Eostre, Spring/Autumn Equinox... or any other celebration i've forgotten the mention... or just good eating :)

Before Easter I found a small stash of easter eggs behind the sofa which was unexpected, and so I thought, "Uh oh, if Mum has bought those for us and I don't give anything in return my mum's boyfriend will not be happy. There'll be toys thrown out of the pram!"

So I went out and bought the family easter eggs, with the exception of my mum's boyfriend as he doesn't ever eat anything anyway. And my one of my brothers ought my mum some posh nutty popcorn instead of something easter related.

Then yesterday arrived, white easter, I found out in the evening that it was my mum's boyfriend who had bought us easter eggs. And he was the only person that went without. D'oh, but last year he said he hated easter.

Oh well. Maybe you can sneak him an extra gift in at some other point during the year? Or at least buy him something not chocolate related next year?
