Somebody asked me how do we celebrate Easter without kids in the house? If I want to be defensive I can simply say "when did Easter becomes a children-exclusive-celebration?". But the fact that in the Western world Easter Sunday is synonimous to egg hunt and endless chocolates {all fun stuff for kids}, I know the person meant well. Believe me, a child-free household like ours is as busy as yours {with kids} on this very special day. However, ours is more centred on celebrating the core of our Catholic faith - that the Lord is risen and we are saved!
Around here on this blessed Easter Sunday : celebrating Easter Mass is on top of the list. no compromise there. The house is also adorned with spring flowers {Ii have tulips this year}. And oh, food {lots of them!}and wine are always part of the celebration. There are times that we celebrate with some friends' family doing the traditional egg hunting but most of the time we celebrate at home - just the two of us singing "Jesus Christ is Risen today .... A-a-a-alleluia!"
Child-free we may be, but .....
WE ARE STILL THE CHILDREN OF EASTER AND OUR SONG IS ALLELUIAH!
