Anyone have big family get-togethers on Easter? Are yours good times or train wrecks?

1. Sort of.

More of a Walking Dead get together.

We will have a nice dinner.

Fried turkey.

Every holiday calls for fried turkey.

[MiddleFingerMom]

6. Not a big ham guy -- any holiday without a turkey was a bummer for me.

[texanwitch]

8. I am not big on ham either.

I am sure someone will bring one.

I supply the turkey and ice tea.

What else is coming I don't know.

It just will be a surprise.

I have to take out the turky fryer in the morning.

2. No extended family visiting.. uh-uh...

We've got killer jelly belly beans that taste like popcorn, a chocolate rabbit and no hot cross buns, but will have lots of BBQ tofu!

4. I'm assuming you know that you can order bags of nothing but popcorn flavor (my favorite) directly..

... from Jelly Belly. Their coolest concept (I've found it at dollar stores, but you can also order
these from their website) are Belly Flops... jelly beans that didn't quite meet their standards.
Some are misshapen or fused together. Trouble is their flavors don't come through very well
with these -- I think maybe that's the "flop" with the majority of them (they are much cheaper --
but not worth the savings). Cool name, though.

Possibly the best "non-MiddleFingerMom-cooked" holiday dinner was a Thanksgiving when I
was invited to join some vegetarian hardcore foodies. I didn't miss the turkey at all and, if
I could have had these folks cook for me all the time, I don't think I ever would have missed
meat ever.

7. Wish we weren't doing anything!

Sister and her family are showing up, supposedly. Should be really awkward, considering she's a right-wing nut who told me never to contact her again, and I'm supposed to show up and be courteous and polite. Dreading tomorrow!

9. I totally understand. Totally. Are you SURE you are up for company? Ya know, I bet you are ...

coming down with the flu. Better call her RIGHT NOW and cancel...

Oh my word, I am so tired of the holidays and all the drama that they bring.

Good luck.

[agracie]

10. No family get-together here. Just a quiet day here at home. Just me and my hub, the critters,...

crossword puzzles, on-line Scrabble, a good book and a nice dinner.

[Callmecrazy]

11. Supposed to go to my sister's for dinner...

but I'll be back on the road before then. No big deal.
Right now I'm gonna hide Easter eggs for my four-year-old nephew.


Happy Easter Everyone.

12. Used to be a train wreck than one day I figured out wait I'm 26 I don't have to be subjected to this

[In_The_Wind]

13. It was more like a clusterfuck instead of a train wreck!

[talkingmime]

14. We hung out at the house and played "Magic The Gathering" together.

No arguments.

[LiberalEsto]

15. Just the three of us for our traditional Easter brunch

which involves eggs Benedict with asparagus.

But afterward I went drumming with 13 fellow pagans to celebrate spring, and that was great.
