As I've grown up, my parents have always made family time a priority at Easter. We would dye Easter eggs together, do an Easter egg hunt in the backyard and then open all our eggs we collected together. Not only did they stress the importance of family at Easter, but they also did a good job of teaching us about the real meaning for the Easter season. We focused a lot on Jesus Christ at Easter time.
I never thought the Easter bunny was real. In my mind he was more of just a symbol of the commercialization of Easter. It was fun to have him as a part of my childhood, so I will definitely make him a part of my kid's lives. Some of my fondest memories are the ones I remember doing around Easter time and I want my kids to have those same experiences. I will make sure though to highlight the spiritual importance of Easter, above the commercialization of it.
