slo’s FRIDAY 4/15 poll - Easter Decorating

[BlueStarryHat]

A small amount, just the windows. This year it's just a couple of wooden bunnies because my little cousin took everything else out and we never got around to putting it all back in.

I picked 3 choices, I do somewhat a lot, a medium amount and other. First, I myself do none. Marie does the holiday decorating here, other than outside Christmas lights. That was the 'other' choice. As for the two other choices, Marie used to do more Easter decorating, quite a bit actually. But with the grandkids not here much at all for the past two years, I think there is less. But still nice Easter stuff around.

PS: Thanks for doing your one, and only one poll a day. It is always a good one (I've told you that before). Today I was looking at how short the CB thread page was, only 18 threads out of a possible 30. I clicked on the 'show ignored content' and the other 12 slots were taken up with the rapid fire questions I do look forward to your daily one.

Yes, I’m a seasonal decorator & have spring & Easter decorations that I put out in April. (I really don’t like when Easter is in March.)

I probably have a medium amount of Easter decor. There’s a bunny on our front door & a spring welcome pat on our front porch. Inside the house, the foyer table, kitchen table, dining room table & buffet, & fireplace mantel in the family room are all decorated.

And, then, there are various other little things around the house - like spring pillow covers on the living room sofa, & the main bathroom has a few little Easter trinkets.

Easter/Spring is probably my 3rd most decorated holiday w/ Christmas being 1st & Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving being 2nd.

In January, I have some snowmen & snowflake stuff, &, for February, I have some Valentine’s Day decor.

I have few summer-specific things & then a few things for Fourth of July & don’t decorate for St. Patrick’s Day.

Totally! I have a ceramic Easter Bunny house, I have Easter Eggs in my planters, I picked up Tulips which I put in baskets that are scattered around our place, we have actual Easter Eggs DD dyed, there are cute mini egg wreaths on a door & I put out purple flowers on window boxes and in front of my door. Usually I try to pick flowers in purple, white and pink but this year pink and white are very scarce so purple it is. There is candy waiting for baskets and the baking for Sunday will start tonight I think, I even got candy filled eggs since DD informed me she wants ALL traditions for the rest of her life, so Russell Stover/Peeps/Jelly Belly can rest easy on my continued support

Love it!!!

I can't remember ever decorating for it. My mom goes crazy, but she does with everything. But I just give my kids a basket and be done with it.

 

[Mysterian]

Nothing here. However, as a kid, we used to have those inflatable Easter bunnies, which were groovy.
I'd like to know if people out there ever do any non-pastel Easter decor.

I remember my one day of Sunday school around Easter time, we were given a punch-out, printed paper basket with flat punch-out paper eggs. We were then given a lesson (Spoiler alert: There's no Easter Bunny in the bible), and afterwards were told that we couldn't keep any of the paper baskets/eggs. That's the sort of stuff that kids typically take home, but nope, not in Sunday school apparently.

I celebrate Easter but do not decorate ,

 

[Grand Koalafornian]

We do a small amount of decorating for Passover. Not much, though.

When I was four, someone ahead of us in line at Disneyland once asked me what I was doing for Easter and I replied very seriously, "I'm not an Easter person." I just meant that we don't celebrate it, but looking back, it must have seemed like I was really offended or something.

We do not decorate for Passover unless you count seeing Matzah and other dry ingredients on shelves and counters around the kitchen and dining room. We do have Kippot with a Matzah design we wear for the Seders. We used to have a few Passover themed dog toys but our current dog is picky with what she will play with.

 

[OKW8297]

No. The only holiday I decorate for is Christmas, although I did go crazy this year and get a new tablecloth for Easter dinner.

 

[mamamary]

I decorate a medium amount. I really cut down this year. I have a whole bunch of stuff that I didn’t put out and it still looks nice.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Just a little bit, a couple bunnies, eggs and signs around. Never put much effort into it.

 

[AuntieMe3]

I have a little bit of decorations for every holiday. Just a couple little things, like a garland for under the TV on the TV stand and a banner and a couple little knick knacks on the fireplace mantel.

I'm a season decor minimalist!
