I like my Easter eggs a bit meta - little eggs in bigger eggs. It does the trick for my childish soul.
Those painted eggs are so pretty, real works of art. I love how they decorate the table at Easter time. But let's get real here - the ones we all love the most are made of chocolate and wrapped in gold foil. They are eggs you open up and there's a sweet surprise within. Call me shallow, but that's all Easter is for me. Well, that and a start to the springtime.
The easter egg hunt was the event of the season and most of the village joined in. There were eggs hidden all over! Once in a while we'd even have an Easter bunny sighting. The children loved it... and in all fairness... the parents did too!
We never did a lot of Easter eggs, but what we did get was always great quality. Perhaps we're chocolate snobs. I guess we are. We'd rather have a bit less and eat the good stuff than have piles of cheap crap.
