When I was a kid Easter meant my mother had to work as she always did on Sunday but she was a cook and she'd send home hot cross buns with my father. I'd have an Easter basket and she'd put goodies in it like candy and a book. I enjoyed making Easter baskets for other people and putting in the candy. That is the only time I ever had marzipan. My mother and I would color dozens of eggs since we had chickens and lots of free eggs. That's it. We did not do anything fancy since she always worked.
I believe the saying is that if it rains on Easter Sunday it will rain for six more Sundays.
