Who wants to sleep in on Easter?

Umhm, I will be sleeping in.

I will be sleeping in.

I’ll be knitting scarves for my squirrel.

Pretty sure the majority of the collective will be sleeping in.

I have church, so I’d better get to bed…

@yankeetooter How early? Is Easter Sunday earlier than most Sundays?

I’ll be up at the usual time to get to 9:15 Mass. The Mass is shorter on Easter because there are so many people there, they have to get the cars in and out of the parking lot.

Church? I don’t think I’m allowed in those anymore.

@zenvelo Seriously? They shorten mass because of the traffic?

@SavoirFaire Me either. I might be making deviled eggs though. ;D I’m sleeping in!

I wish! I have to wake up and hide the real eggs we colored tonight!

@cruiser Hide the real eggs? Don’t you hide the eggs with yummy candy inside?

I wish I was back home with Mom and Dad and the siblings. We each had an Easter basket that was put out at night, and they would be magically filled with candy and hidden in the house. The goal was to find your own basket before church and taunt the brother or sister whose basket you found before they did. Dad was quite brilliant when it came to the locations he chose and as we aged.

I meant to say I am sleeping in… yarn.

I would like to sleep in, but it isn’t happening. Has nothing to do with church, though, that’s for sure.

There is magic on Easter? Like Santa Claus? I never knew.

Man, the Christians get all the fun stuff.

@JLeslie Yes I hide the plastic ones filled with cash and goodies as soon as oldest gets off the damn computer and goes to bed! My kids are ½ Jewish and get to celebrate all the great feasting holidays!

That is the most unusual statement I’ve ever heard. ‘Christians get all the fun stuff.’

I actually went to the neighborhood easter egg hunt as a child, and we dyed eggs at home. But, no Christmas Tree. Chocolate bunnies and eggs fine, decorated trees no good. Totally illogical

@ANef_is_Enuf When you are a Jewish kid, especially 30 years ago, it does seem like the Christians get the fun stuff. Santa, lights, trees…

Jews are more serious about their holidays. Reading from a book while you’re starving to eat. No surprise gifts under a tree. No cartoons for weeks about the upcomng holiday. It’s changing though. We are catching up with the commercialization.

Quit the bitchin @JLeslie who gets 7….SEVEN days in a row of gifts??? XD

This morning my lttle sister was up and jumping in my bed at 6am, I went back to sleep and got up at 11. Our family really isnt the church type.

@Cruiser It’s 8 (come on now, 4 day journey to get the oil, and 4 day journey back).

That Chanukah gift thing started to compete with Christmas. Chanukah wasn’t a gift giving holiday. I got some gifts when I was little. Later just gelt from everyone. Not that I’m complaining. Still, no Santa magic.

Totally sleeping in! Then grudgingly visiting my family for some dry honeybaked ham.

@JLeslie I’m in the choir, so I’ll get there about 10:00 probably…
@SavoirFaire I think you would be welcome, lol!

I woke up just before noon today. :-)
No choich fa me, just NBA playoffs. ;-p
