Most years, I go with my mom to get the basket blessed even though I'm not Catholic (she is.) It's a nice tradition. She always brings the same S&P shakers, so those are the holiest S&P shakers in the world.

I am always appalled that the priest at her chuch asks for "donations" of candy & food. He walks up & down the aisles holding his smock out like a pouch collecting from everyone. I'm always tempted to toss in a piece of greasy kielbasa to teach him a lesson.

This year, we went to a different church.

I think a grease-stained robe would have taught him a lesson.

I'm sorry, I'm not understanding why that is appalling. Isn't the candy and food for people who don't have enough candy or food? Or is it for the priest to snack on?

It's for the priest to snack on. I thought all priests did it until we went to another church. It was then I realized that Father Chris made up his own little tradition to scam candy.

So. There. Appalling.

To me, anyway.

Oh, that's kind of weird. It seems really nice if people just brought him food for the holiday, but to solicit for it is strange. Why doesn't someone just bring the poor guy an easter basket with a bunch of candy and snacks?

I sure would, after the first year I saw him trolling down the pews begging for cream eggs....

I have lots of weird Easter things.

However, I have much weirder Passover things. This year I got to play the Angel of Death and got to murder five first-born Egyptian sons.

Me too!!!

But seriously - you were in an easter play or something? You must explain.

My easters have been totally normal, except when I was 8.
I was in my really pretty dress, we were all at my Grandmas around the dinner table, she had made the big whole thing like at Christmas dinner, and I was in heaven cause I loved it at my grandmas, as all the family members there were really nice to me and loved me and spoiled me.

So, we're eating, and suddenly my mom announces: "So, Amber wrote 'f*ck you' on a neighbor's mailbox!" Which I hadn't done, but which the stupid poor white trash lying girl who lived in that house told my mom I did.
And when it first came up when it happened, I remember crying and crying in the tub while my mom yelled at me and repeating "I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" and she wouldn't believe me. I don't know why, I wasn't in the practice of misbehaving that way.
Anyway, I was sooooo embarrassed because the whole family thought I was good and sweet (which I was). I was very, very heartbroken, I started crying and left the table and cried in the bathroom until my grandma came and got me. And of course I couldn't really tell everyone that I hadn't done it. Also it was a shock, because the actual event had not happened very recently.
I think that was one of the top three traumatic moments in my young life, actually. I was sooooo incredibly embarrassed and heartbroken.

All my other Easters have been really good and fun, though. I was the only child in the entire family for 15 years, so the relatives really made things special for me.

Wow...thats graphic. Who was the angel of death in the Bible anyway? Michael? Does he have a name?

My sister and I always spent Easter week with my grandma and her sister. "Those were the days...." The one Easter that stands out most prominently in my mind was the time I spent alllllll day constantly eating. At the end of the day, my dad was showing home movies (Super 8) and I asked my great aunt to make me a sandwich. She made me a peanut butter and honey sandwich. I ate the whole thing and subsequently puked up the sandwich and everything else I had eaten all day all over the carpet.

I was talking about the thing where you were death, but this is a good one, too.
