Oh really? Our family Easter involves 3 invites as well as our dinner
that we try to reserve for our kids and their spouses. I hate Easter
commercialism because I totally detest chocolate. We don't do the egg
thing but this year we might. I have a little activity involving golf
clubs and eggs flying into the water. Trust me in this family meaning
my extended relatives, *every* holiday is a horrid experiences leaving
you gritting your teeth. The next one is the May 24 weekend. Heck, I'm
not even going to go there. It's worse than Christmas, Hallowe'en,
Thanksgiving, and Easter all rolled into one. Not good. DH and I are
planning a nice quite get away with the answering service shut off about
a week before
