1) Easter means the Resurrection of Jesus. With out that there is no real difference between Christianity and other religions. NO forgiveness. No power over death. Without the Resurrection we should all just gp play tennis or golf or go run in the park on sunday morning. IMHO!

2) When I was a kid we would always have an Easter basket that was hidden in the house somewhere and we had to find it. That was always fun. Also the night before we would color the Easter eggs.

3) Eggs, bunnies or chicks? All of the above. I loed the chocolate bunnies.

4) I don't remember wearing anything different on Easter Sunday. We pretty much went to church every sunday anyways. I might add that as a kid I didn't fully understand the Easter story. I remember on friday night we were eating dinner before going to the evening Good Friday service at church. I blurted out "why are we going to church on a friday night for?" once and my mother nearly fainted. LOL!

Do you have the Lindt Gold Bunny in the US it is the number one selling chocolate bunny in Britain.

I do not remember hiding eggs in Britain as a child but children seem to do it these days I think it is something that has been imported from the US.

Easter bonnets and baskets were a tradition but sort of went out but I believe local schools are bringing back the bonnet tradition and with the easter egg hunts becoming popular maybe the basket will make a comeback.
