You know, I just realized how thankful I am all the closures and lockdowns weren’t during the Thanksgiving -> Christmas -> New Years time.

whew! glad I'm not alone!Nope - I don't either. In fact we didn't make a big deal of an Easter basket for our kid even when he actually was a kid. There. I said it.
To be fair, I've only really experienced Catholic and Baptist Easter worship services. My Moravian experiences are solely Christmas related, and any other denomination's service I've been to has been a wedding or funeral.It isn't just Baptists.
I don’t do them eitherOh boy - am I the only parent to adult children that doesn't do baskets for them?
luvsjack sorry For the frustration.
My yard is almost 3 acres in country, I had said I was going outside to my mom and my mom texted she was on her way to my house. So I let her sit on the outside porch - 15 feet from me-while I cleaned some of the pool area.
Today she tells my sister who is home super sick. That I’m having Easter. And I said so yesterday. And that she can come too. I DID NOT SAY THAT. And my sister already knew - no Easter here. We laugh at the opposite stories we hear from mom.
So I nicely informed my mother today, that my other SIL wanted to know if I was having Easter (so not to throw my sister under the bus) and that I was NOT having it and my own sister is sick and NO ONE is coming into my house.
And then I did call my SIL and said no Easter here this year. She was cool, sad but had figured no Easter at my home.
So the mil calls up sil and asks if they are having everyone over for Easter!!!! Dd wants to say no but from what she said on the phone this morning, they probably will have his family.
When her mil called her up to ask if they were having Easter, why didn't your daughter just say "no, we are in the middle of a pandemic and have been asked to not gather in anyone's house except for the core family members that live together."
Sad that she couldn't say that, since you said she wanted to say "no".
I will be missing my family on Easter, but we didn't even talk about it, it was a no-brainer, it went without saying that we wouldn't be getting together.
But we are planning to do a big family gathering when this is over with food on the grill, horse shoes, volleyball and just a whole day of family fun as soon as all this has passed.
