We did what we do on most religious holidays and that was stay home, eat some food and watch movies together.
I don't particularly prefer to see my family on holidays especially since I became an "adult" because we don't see eye to eye on most things so it is just easier if I keep my peace by calling them and wishing them a good day but I'm sorry I can't make it, I'm working.
I don't like dealing with holiday traffic, or crowded restaurants after a church service full of church goers. And am not exactly a fan of 20 something people using the apartment complex to have an easter egg hunt and let their kids run wild while other are observing a day of rest from work. I hate to be a scrooge, but I believe our city has parks for a reason. And not that I dislike people who observe these holidays, by all means, do what makes you happy. I'm glad my dad and my sisters or whoever else in my family (and other families too) get together and spend some time together. It makes me happy to see them happy and it also makes me happy to see that families still hold some value for people.
But until we have a family of our own, if that ever happens, we're going to continue celebrating our way: sex in the morning, coffee spiked with some rum, leftover pizza for breakfast and sitting inside watching movies and playing video games.
One thing I do enjoy about holidays though is that for some reason it gives me the urge to clean and cook up something more edible than leftover pizza for dinner. Hey, there is some small amount of domesticated woman in me.
See you guys on the flipside.

I like your idea of celebrating. 
Although, I am a bit jealous that I did not get sex this morning. I am going to mention to that to my boyfriend. The concept of holiday sex sounds like a good idea. We basically tend the typical family thing. Last night we colored eggs with his four year old son and then made everyone's baskets. There are 8 of us in the house and you would not believe how much candy their was! 
Brandon, my boyfriends little boy, laid out carrots for the Easter Bunny and some ranch dressing. He is was doubtful that he existed, so I made my boyfriend eat the carrots. I hate them! :vomit: This morning Brandon was completely uninterested in the Easter baskets in front of him. He just wanted to watch Spongebob. Once he realized there was toys and candy in there, he perked up a bit. We learned one lesson though. Candy all day + Brandon = instant demon. So next year, we are considering to use less candy! We had a nice dinner and then watched the Simpsons movie. Nothing special or out of the ordinary. I am glad you enjoyed your day as well, even if you did not feel it was "traditional." Who needs "traditional" anyhow? We defy societal norms anyhow, right?
