I used to put games and stuff in the baskets too. Last year was the first year no one wanted to color eggs.
I figure just like Valentines day, or the fact that I didn't wrap Christmas presents (bags this year) They will be fine.
We do gifts in our baskets plus new outfits, shoes (we dress up for Easter) and then a little candy and I wrap everything for Christmas. Holidays are just special to me and I do them big.

Same with our family

I think my exhaustion will outweigh that this year. And if they complain, I just spent a bunch on shoes

I put forth the effort because when they're older, they're going to remember. My 24 year old still gets a kick out of the basket he got when he was 18.

If you're living at home - you get a basket. Nothing elaborate - basket, annoying shredded crap, jelly beans, bunny, icky peeps and a plastic thing that poops jelly beans. That's it. Easter isn't the new Christmas.

I'm cheap and have always went the day after holidays for candy.

They will be ok. I haven’t done an Easter basket for my kid in years. She’s 14.

At 41 I barely can remember when my mom stopped. It’s effort. It’s hard to explain.
