slo’s WEDNESDAY 4/5 poll - Easter Decorations

[1420Elexismc]

I usually just put a decorative hanger on the front door...but I have no idea where my sign went...

 

[KPeterso]

I have the Easter Bunny wreath on my door. No other decorations are out or will be put out at this point.

Not decorated at all. We go decorations crazy for Christmas, but Easter is really just another Sunday for us.

 

[Wendy31]

Yes, I put out our Easter decor this past Sunday.

And, most years, I think I have too much Easter decor, but, this year, I’m actually wishing I had more.

I’ve hosted a very small Easter before w/ just my parents, but we’re hosting an Easter brunch on Good Friday w/ additional people.

And I think I need more table decor since I’ll have 3 tables set up - 2 for eating & 1 for a buffet. And I also don’t have enough spring-y tablecloths.

This is the first year ever with no decorations. I've had a persistent flu bug and just haven't had the energy. Like @slo , I kind of wish I'd done something.
I think from now on I'll start putting holiday stuff up earlier -- so if something comes up, the house isn't dreary. I love Easter.

Does a Christmas Tree count? I don't know, maybe I should finally take it down Saturday.....

I suppose it depends on how it’s decorated. Some people leave them up all year and swap out ornaments for different holidays. Or you can wait until after the Christmas in July celebrations before you take it down.

I don’t decorate for Easter.

Pre pandemic, I enjoyed helping to set up Holy Thursday church potluck dinner and Holy Communion. Each table was decorated in a way with a white or purple tablecloth, flowers, Chalice, and a candle. It was a humble privilege when I was on the choir to quietly dress the Sanctuary at our Sunruse service. Still trying to find a home Spring decoration. I do have a wall hanging of a stained glass looking cross I need to put up.

I put my home is decorated but really it's just my dining room table. We rarely use it so I usually change the table cloth and things in the middle with the season. I also have a little bunny candy dish on the coffee table with jelly beans in it.

My aunt doesn't decorate the house for anything but Christmas-we do have a bunny in the window and an Easter themed wreath on the front door.

 

[DisneyHardin]

I used to put out a few decorations for all the holidays, but as I’ve gotten older, I don’t anymore. I decorate for Christmas and sometimes for Halloween.

I have Easter decorations, but haven’t used them in years.

 

[RedAngie]

Yes, I have some Easter specific and Spring in general decor. Door wreath, garden flag, little bunnies and chickies, and some of my mother’s hand decorated Easter eggs.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Yes, I put some of my Easter decorations out. I still have a few to go. We can be late together, slo!

 

[Buzz Rules]

My family has Easter decorations up in the house and some Passover ones too. My Jewish relatives are celebrating with us tonight (though since I’m Catholic I really just observe instead of actively participate). Because it’s Spy Wednesday, I have a bowl of 30 silver chocolate coins on the table next to the Seder setup. They will celebrate Easter with us this weekend.

 

[georgina]

I have a few ceramic bunnies on my table. No family around this year, DH is not religious, other than me singing in the church choir, it's really just another Sunday here.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Yes, we have some Easter decorations going... got some baskets of eggs (plastic not real), easter bunnies and gnomes.

 

[LuvOrlando]

Easter is on Sunday.
Is your home decorated for Easter?



For Me…..For the first time in 25 years my home is not decorated for Easter.
My DD19 is at college. My in-laws & my parents wanted to do brunch this year, so I’m not hosting the normal Easter meal. Because of these reasons, I took this season off from decorating. I’m not gonna lie, I‘m kinda wishing now that I did decorate - my house is way to blah for Easter being here in a few days.

Never too late to boil a few eggs and drop some food dye into the water, then you'll have colorful eggs for egg salad, do you

 

[LuvOrlando]

Yes, spring lawn flags, foam bunny peeps and eggs in my platers, metal wreath so birds don't nest in my door. Inside there are cheerey gels in the mirrors, chick hand towels, a new floral tablecloth and Easter Baskets waiting to be filled. All these things with bright cheery colors improve mood so why not?

Sorry to hear this - sending lots of PD for you to feel better soon

 

[MamaMermaid]

Yes, but very lightly.

I have not done it yet. I have a bin or two of Easter decor in the attic. We do not host the extended family meal, but my college kids will be home for a few days and all three of my kids will be looking forward to their Easter baskets. Not sure that they will care if their stuff actually makes it into the basket LOL. Getting stuff in and out of our attic is a two person job—maybe tonight.

Thank you, @slo! Your poll inspired me and we did get the bin out of the attic last night. So I have the baskets and just have to fill them with the stuff I bought. I did put up the door wreath and a few little bunnies and baskets I have. Looks cute, took less than an hour and won’t be much to put away.
