Easter coming Up

Never celebrated Easter much since moving here.  I always felt that the emphasis was to be on Christ, not the Easter Bunny.  I relented one year when my daughter was younger and bought her a plush bunny that turned inside-out to become a silk egg.  I placed it beside her bed and using flour, placed my fingers together to form bunny tracks leading from her bed to the door, where they just disappeared!  She was amazed and had a lot of fun trying to figure out how the tracks mysteriously vanished.  That was the only time I celebrated that way.  The main plus for me is the Easter cantata which I usually have a solo to sing, and a new Easter outfit.  I bought a new dress this year, the first one in the last several years especially for Easter.  I have a solo to practice for - but not hopeful so far, judging from my rehearsals.    I think I miss the Easter egg hunts for the children when I was growing up.  Although I still believe that the main focus should be on the "reason for the season" which is Christ and his sacrifice and victory.
