Easter tradition in your part of the...
What Easter traditions are customary in your neck of the woods?
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!
I like the solitude that comes with Easter. After church we typically go out to dinner and have a day of no TV, just family. Although, today, i am stuck at work. uggghhh.
The philosopher has not done philosophy until he has acted upon the mere conviction of his idea; for proof of the theory is in the act, not the idea.

Well, let's see...
Until this year, it was things like:
Getting dressed up and going to church
Making a nice dinner to share with the extended family
Talking with Dad about the upcoming baseball season
Sitting out on the deck on one of the first sunny, warm days of spring (sometimes...)
Now it's ---
Race like mad through page-after-page of an internet forum, looking for pictures of colored eggs that say "Sorry, Charley..." when you click on them.

go to church, have dinner with the family. after that, we watch a movie at night with family together.

It's nice to see that the blatant commercialism of Easter is still being rejected. and that traditions* are being upheld.
I don't have family with me, they are in South Australia 3,000km to the south but there is the phone and email so I don't really feel isolated.
Australia is a very cosmopolitan country.
Because of this, no particular Easter tradition stands out, and a significant portion of the non-atheist population have Islamic, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu and other faiths, so they don't observe Easter at all.
Actually, the Greek Easter celebrations DID stand out last year when the custom of letting off dynamite resulted in some of the windows in Darwin's principal Greek church being damaged.
* I haven't heard of Dyngus Day down here.
