Because of my beliefs, I never celebrated easter. As my kids grew up, I never told my kids why we didnt celebrate easter like all the other families. We did do the traditionsl egg hunts with family or community, but as a family, I treated easter as holiday signifying the start of spring. Kids got gifts to be used in the spring/summer months. Everything from puppies to toy lawn mowers,gardening kits, fishing or camping items. I guess my question is, should have I tied my first day of spring holiday celebration to easter?
