Amen. You dressed up and took pics before church, got a little chocolate and after church had an easter egg hunt and ate some ham, devil eggs and baked beans. That was it.

Just so you all remember the intellect you're dealing with, OP is the guy from February who thinks a barehanded human beats a chimp.

I got lots of chocolate and the occasional present, whether it be a small book or a VHS tape.

A trained male human fighter would 1000% beat an average chimp

I got a dozen baseballs every year. They would last till the next Easter. The Easter bunny always brought the candy to my dad. Now that I mention it he got all the candy at Christmas too.

I always got one or two gifts for Easter, best was an Electric Razor scooter.

Never got anything for Easter growing up. Maybe because we were Jewish?

Your parents didn’t put out a basket?

When I grew up you got some chocolate in the morning went to church then ate Easter dinner with the extended family and that was that. Why is there so much extra bullshite nowadays
So, your Easter was a Thanksgiving. You have no room to judge.

I got an Easter basket with green straw. It had a chocolate bunny with pecan roils and heavenly hash. Had some miniature chocolate eggs to crunch. I think we had two soft boiled eggs. There wasn’t any video games or money involved. This was back during the late 1970’s and early 1980’s.
This reminds me of how my parents inadvertently introduced me to weed when I was I guess a preteen still
My parents kept our Easter decorations and baskets in our guest bedroom/office closet which is also where my dad would go to smoke. My dad who loves his green straw apparently left it hidden at one time underneath the grass in the Easter basket.
My mom took it out before one Easter and loaded it full of candy and come Easter I ate the candy and brought the basket to my room to continue to pick on it and the candy inside for the next couple weeks. My mom who is constantly tidying came and took the basket from my room to put the rest of the candy in the pantry and found my dads weed underneath the grass in the basket and of course she blamed me for it.
She tore me a new one the whole time while I was defending myself because I hardly even knew what the hell it was at the time and had no idea my dad was trying to leave me a little extra something as she dangled it in front of my face yelling at me for it as she threw it away in front of me. She told my dad about it and he realized it was his and ended up mad that she threw out his weed.
Anyway that’s the first time I had ever been introduced to it
Happy Easter and 4/20

I place blame squarely at the feet of the Joneses.

8 kids in our family...solid choc bunny, heavenly hash, gold brick eggs and assorted jelly beans, speckled robin eggs, maybe socks or a coloring book ... Mass then dinner with ham, and pasta and red gravy....after all it was Sunday and as every Sunday we had red gravy at MawMaw’s house in the “country “

When I was a kid, just candy and the hard boiled eggs we dyed together the night before here. Yes, we were poor but we didn’t know any better and still had a great Easter.
